    What a wonderful detailed close-up image of this puffin with it’s beak filled with tiny eels, they are wonderful birds to see in the wild on the coasts and even moreso when you get an opportunity like this, well captured,
    Regards, Rod.

    That is one magnificent capture (for the puffin and you!) I have only seen them from far away….

  • David Lewins LRPS replied

    Thanks, a strange bird this one…seconds after the shot it dropped the eels and began to preen it wings, then flew off! A greedy blackheaded gull demolished the eels!
