  1. Can't believe you experienced 40,000 of them. Just a photo of a single one delights me. Excellent photos! Posted 2 years ago
    1. Thank you Ferdy! I have wanted to see puffins ever since I moved to Wales, last years trip to Anglesey was cancelled due to family getting Covid, but this was so much better. Plus, it has given me the photography bug again, so hopefully, I shall be back here again, I have been away too long! Posted 2 years ago

The Atlantic Puffin is a seabird species in the auk family. It is a pelagic bird that feeds primarily by diving for fish, but also eats other sea creatures, such as squid and crustaceans. Its most obvious characteristic during the breeding season is its brightly coloured bill. Also known as the Common Puffin, it is the only puffin species which is found in the Atlantic Ocean.
