Puffin dance

Two puffins (Fratercula arctica), a mating pair, do the hokey pokey, putting their left feet in and shaking them all about (www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_P9PU5FcMQ). Actually these two seemed intent on getting a nesting site picked out and putting vegetation around it, in addition to grooming each other and occassionally dropping down several hundred feet to the ocean below to hunt for fish. Late evening, Látrabjarg cliffs, the westernmost promontory on Iceland (#4)
