I think I had a couple thousand Atlantic puffins flying over my head yesterday :blob_bounce_fast: #puffins #birds

This way to Puffins.

Strong winds, especially when combined with steep and unstable edges, significantly increases the risk of falling off cliffs when visiting coastal regions.

Here’s another Puffin from last Sunday’s Skomer trip. This one is demonstrating how these birds can fly despite having wings that don’t look big enough: jetpacks. Puffin-sized, invisible jetpacks. The secret is out. 😉

Photo of an Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) in mid air as he or she makes a vertical descent before landing. The bird is facing towards the left of the image and slightly away from us, head looking down, body upright, feet lowered, narrow wings held out behind the body caught in mid flap. The bird is short and stocky but looks more elongated here in vertical pose; the top of the head, the neck, the back, the upper sides of the wings and the tail are black, while the sides of the face, the chest, the belly and the undersides of the wings are white. The beak, which is much taller than it is broad and triangular in shape, is blue near the base and red towards the pointed tip, with yellowish lines around the blue part and within the red part. The short legs and the webbed feet are orange. He or she might not actually be wearing an invisible jetpack, but it would explain a lot if they were.

The look of love. 🥰 A pair of Puffins on Skomer Island gazing into each other's eyes.*

Photo of two Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) standing on a ledge, looking at each other. The Puffin on the left has their back to us, and their head turned to the right. The Puffin on the right is standing with their right side towards us, and their head turned so that we see their full face. The birds have black backs, wings, tails and necks, with the tops of their heads also black while the sides of their faces are white. Their eyes are black with orange rims, and their legs and webbed feet are orange. Their colourful beaks are narrow when seen from the front, triangular in shape seen from the side. The base of the beak has a large patch of blue-grey enclosed within a pale yellow border, while the rest of the beak is red with a couple of pale yellow stripes.

The Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, located off the coast of Newfoundland, is home to the largest Atlantic puffin colony in North America! Millions of seabirds flock to this area each summer to breed. 🇨🇦 #Canada #Newfoundland #WitlessBay #Puffins #Seabirds

After my visit to Skomer Island yesterday with my brother @rob_camera I may have just one or two #Puffin photos to share with you. In the same way that this #Skomer Puffin may have just one or two Sand Eels for the hungry young Puffling waiting in a nearby burrow... 😉 😃

A Puffin (Fratercula arctica), with around a dozen Sand Eels in his or her beak. The bird is short and stocky; the top of the head, the neck, the back, the wings and the tail are black, while the sides of the face, the chest and the belly are white. The beak, which is much taller than it is broad, is blue near the base and red towards the pointed tip, with yellowish lines around the blue part and within the red part. The short legs and the webbed feet are orange. The bird is walking towards us and slightly to our right, across sandy soil on which there are a few small patches of green leaves, and quite a few small whitish patches – Puffin poop!

overcrowding of seabirds on this tiny isle has resulted in unpleasant daily flight collisions and near-misses

It’s my Improbability of Puffins.

I love this term of venery for puffins (who are indeed improbable looking sea birds). It’s part of my series of prints of groups of animals and the weird and wonderful collective nouns to describe them.

My linocut print of 4 puffins clustered on a rock with the words “An Improbability of Puffins.” The text is black except “Improbability” which is orange.

Crossing from Pembroke #Wales to Rosslare #Ireland, I just saw dozens of #puffins flying close to the Ferry.

When we first stayed in #Pembrokeshire in 1998, we happened to stay near Martin's Haven one night and simply got a place on a boat to #Skomer Island when arriving at the harbour. I never again saw so many puffins so close.

When trying to reserve a trip for this summer already very early this year, all trips to Skomer were completely booked and even the wating list filled...

This Is A Colour Wildlife Image In Landscape Format. The Photo Is Taken At Ground Level And Shows A Dry Surface Of Earth With A Few Small Stones. A Short Distance Back The Is A Small Burrow In An Earth Bank With Some Sparse Green Vegetation Surrounding The Entrance. Inside The Is An Adult Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula Arctica). The Bird Is Looking Out Of The Burrow As If Looking At The Camera, Which Is A Safe Distance Away. The Bird Has Its Head And Body Aligned With The Camera. The Puffin Has A Squat And But Relatively Thin Near Triangular Shaped Beak That Is Orange At The Front And Black At the Rear. The Bird Has A Large Almost Round Head With The Upper Part Being Black, The Sides White And The Black Eyes Surrounded By An Orange Triangular Margin With A Small Black Frame Surrounding The Triangle. The Birds Lower Surfaces Are White, The Upper Surfaces: Black. One Of The Two Large Orange Webbed Feet Is Visible On The Left Side. The Bird Its Crouched Or Perhaps Lying Down.
The Location Is Skokholm Island, To The West Of The Welsh Pembrokeshire Coast In The UK And Is A Designated Site Of Special Scientific Interest (2024).

Really looking forward to being back amongst the Puffins (and all the other birds) on Skomer Island with my brother @rob.camera next weekend! 😍

I am finding this stream wonderfully relaxing (Puffin cam).

The National Trust UK: "We're streaming puffins from the Farne Islands from dawn until dusk, every day during the 2025 breeding season, giving you the chance to see puffins up close, wherever you are!"

Tried to squeeze as many puffins as I could into one frame. I got eight, plus maybe a couple of dozens more dotting the water in the background.

Eight puffins on the edge of a cliff and maybe a couple dozens more dotting the water in the background.

Excuse fuzziness. Operating an iPhone whilst bobbing like a cork on water isn’t easy!!

Today, Mothman and Mothman’s Mr Spouse went #wildlife searching around the Scilly Isles, firstly on a boat where we saw #puffins, #guillemots and #razorbills, atlantic #seals and a distant #PeregrineFalcon.

Not on photo, but we also saw #cormorants and even bagged a couple of #shags
