As we neared the island aboard a small boat rocking in the waves I was aware a lots of birds swooping around and diving into the sea. As we got closer I realised they were lots and lots of little puffins! I was amazed. It was wonderful. This pic is taken of the first puffin I got close to. We were surrounded by puffins and I had such a lovely time. We went last year and they had all migrated and this year the boat didn’t sail due to rough seas. But finally on our last day this year the boat sailed. It was amazing!

Tip top GAP FACTOR – clutterfree background, a tight crop yet not restrictive in what is portrayed. Excellent work – strength to strength.
