Puffins Nesting
I was lucky to witness thousands of puffins nesting in the cliffs of Iceland's Tjörnes Peninsula. I had to inch along on my belly through tall grass in an effort to not scare away these skittish birds. I was happy to capture shots like this with a 200mm telephoto lens - and patience! These birds fly away in mid-August and won't return to land until the following spring.
