Puffin returning from the sea with a bill full of sand eels. Staple Island, Farnes, Northumberland. DSC_4118.jpg

Best large

 

There is nothing quite like the extraordinary sight of these spectacularly colourful little seabirds arrowing repeatedly across the shores of these islands, stubby wings flapping ten to the dozen, bills laden with sand eels, as they dodge robbing gulls, to land and feed their puffling chicks waiting in their burrows.

 

Thank you for your faves and comments.
