Atlantic Puffin
The name "puffin" means "swollen" referring to their plump appearance. This iconic seabird suffered steep declines in the early 20th century due to hunting and commercial exploitation. It recovered in a few areas because of reintroduction programs using decoys to lure...- jmorlan

Fulmars and Puffins
This is a bit of the cliff face on the other side of the chasm where the Fulmar was nesting. Now you can see there's a load of Puffins there too. The Fulmar flew into shot unexpectedly, and although not the greatest of pictures I'll take it LOL.- delia todd

Atlantic Puffin portrait.
This image is a portrait of an adult Atlantic Puffin [Fratercula Arctica], showing the bird's huge colourful parrot like bill that it adornes during the breeding season, this colourful outer part is shed after the breeding season leaving a smaller and duller beak.- Gary Welsby

Hostile Reception Committee
A very hostile reception awaits the returning Puffins, I was amazed that the were able to fly directly into there burrow, which they needed to do to avoid loosing the fish, only seemed to occur though on certain areas of Inner Farne?- Duke Leto

Puffin checking out the Gannets
Jim going back to Shetland shortly, reminded me of the trip we had up to the top of the Island of Unst. The most northerly of the islands. The nature reserve of Hermaness has one of the largest Gannetries to be found and just off-shore is the lighthouse of Muckle Flugga! It's quite a trek...- delia todd
