One of my annual trips out to the Isle of May which sits out in the North Sea just east of Edinburgh. About 46,000 pairs of Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula) come ashore there to breed every year.
Outstanding shots of those cute and unique birds!

Puffins are so cute. The Norwegian Lundenhund is a breed of dog that was bred to climb up steep cliffs and get the puffins, which I believe were used for food. They have 6 toes on each foot and can turn their heads almost all the way around.

Most probably my favorite bird. I hope I will have the opportunity of photographing them one day.
