Puffins Galore ..........

8 July - A late breeding season visit (on a fine summer day) to Staple and Inner Islands, the seabird colony was in full swing, with Puffins especially whizzing past with beakfuls of fish, alongside the Guillemots and ever-smart Razorbills in their jet-black plumage. Also Kittiwakes, Fulmars and Gannets cruising past. Not forgetting the aggressive Arctic Terns dive-bombing the visitors! A cacophony of sound and constant movement of birds whirring in all directions, a very impressive spectacle. As usual, lots of photo opportunities, but original composition and focussing on flying birds more of a challenge.........
