[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another photo of a puffin on Skellig Michael. If you want to see the puffins make sure that you go between May and the end of July. Sometime near the beginning of August they head out to the Atlantic, not coming back to land until April of the following year.

Nous avons ce même oiseau ici en Manche, je crois pouvoir dire que c'est un Macareux, ils deviennent rares et sont protègés. Ce migrateur, dans ta photo est très bien saisi, c'est une composition très propre et colorée.

Good composition Danny. Very soft but well done. Colors are beautiful.

Very rarely do you get a bird looking directly at you. A very good shot indeed. Too bad, part of the tail got cropped off.

A very upfront look but on the other hand this birds are so curious. I like how you fill the frame and the light is good giving the left side a little extra. And the pose is quite funny too, they can twist the neck more than we can!

realy beautifull and great quality
well done
a national geo shot

When I was in Scotland I wanted to get a shot of a puffin, unfortunately they were very shy and I didn't get a chance...anyway this is a great shot, with excellent sharpness and colours. Cheers.

Wow, Danny, again this is a beauty, the canon fits you well. You take marvellous pictures with this one. Amazing bird, very nicely rendered. Very good one.
