Puffins at last! (Fratercula arctica)

Initially, I was a bit disappointed when my Mull trip was cancelled due to lack of sign-ups. But I asked what other trips were available for the period I'd already booked to be in the UK and I'm happy I chose the Sark trip. Not a lot of bird species breed on Sark, so the best birding times there are the Spring and Fall migrations. But we did get to see Atlantic Puffins. Couldn't go ashore there, and had to grab what shots I could from a rather rocky boat while the Puffins bounced about in the waves. Still, I got lucky with at least this one shot.
