albert Posted June 26, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2016 I zoomed in on the beak. Beautiful. Happy you are still in one piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted June 26, 2016 Thanks guys. Stuart, this was on Orkney, a remarkable group of islands off the north of Scotland. Fabulous wildlife and incredible Neolithic archaeology. A brilliant place to spend a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted June 27, 2016 Share #5 Posted June 27, 2016 Nice image. Horned Puffins are such interesting looking birds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted June 27, 2016 This beautiful bird is an Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), not a horned one (Fratercula corniculata) who would be an extremely long way from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted June 28, 2016 Share #7 Posted June 28, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I hear they make some pretty good whiskey there. Perhaps you had some to get in the mood for hanging over this cliff? The outcome was worth it. Beautiful shot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted June 30, 2016 Share #8 Posted June 30, 2016 Beautiful daring shot. These are interesting birds. I'm headed to the Saltee Islands in August to see the Puffins. You've set the standards high. (Won't be dangling from any cliffs though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardster Posted June 30, 2016 Share #9 Posted June 30, 2016 Great capture. It brings back a distant memory of a holiday long ago when I rode along the north west Scottish coast and dropped in at a place called Durness where a rookery of these lovely birds could be found during nesting season. "Shoulda bin here last week" was the response when I asked where they all were. Nesting season was over. I stilled managed to spot a couple of stragglers from the cliff tops! Lovely birds indeed.

Northwest Wanderer Posted June 30, 2016 Share #10 Posted June 30, 2016 This beautiful bird is an Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), not a horned one (Fratercula corniculata) who would be an extremely long way from home. My error, I failed to notice the steel-blue triangle at the base of its beak. With the exception of the blurred area it's a fine image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
