Gone Fishing

At this time of the year it is crucial for the puffin to regularly go fishing in order to collect as many sand eels, herring or sprats to ensure the survival of their demanding and hungry pufflings.  These shots were taken on inner Farne and as you can see the bigger beakful of fish the better.

Just Chillin

A puffin on the precipice contemplating what to do next – go fishing, make pufflings or perhaps just chill?  This shot was taken on the Farne Islands and although quite simplistic and empty it somehow still retains a sense of atmosphere.
