Sleeping Beauty

Látrabjarg in Iceland is mentioned as one of the best places on earth to take photo's of Puffins. They are not hunted there and are completely at ease with all the humans looking at them and taking pictures with phones, compacts and as some Dutch fools do, with long teles. The advantage is you can get some details you normally don't notice, like in this shot of a sleeping beauty

 

They can be more active too, as seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/m_geven/2591327655/
