Puffins

---

And now for the puffins, lots of puffins. They are quite cute and love posing for the camera. Take a look. These little guys (Bird attests the cutest are female) begin arriving in May and then one morning in early August staff wakes on the island and the puffins are gone, some to Iceland, others to Canada. On a few pictures notice holes in the ground, which is where they make nests. We have previously seen puffins in Norway but only on water with our small craft zipping about locating the birds. But here, wow, the puffins pose on dry land or rock in their full splendor. Should you desire to see more puffins, just stop by we have 'em. Ya know, a bit hard to send this as no more looks at these puffin pictures till return to the U.S. By far the highlight of these two months is Skellig Michael.

Puffin
For some of these pictures there will be no commentary, which can be discerned by looking at the title-lot of numbers, no commentary.

Marital Bliss
One on right telling her mate to follow me.

No Fishing Today
Yea, let's just enjoy a rare nice day. Puffins diet is fish.

Baby Bird Talking
When we saw this picture, both Bird and I thought of Baby Bird. Why? Anyone who knows and loves BB as we do is aware if she's not sleeping or eating, she is likely talking. Two Birds are just yapping and poor dude in center cannot escape.

Minding Nests
Notice several holes, which is where they burrow for nests.

Pow Wow
Perhaps planning a departure day.

Puffins and Rocks
Have both puffins with unusual rock formation with a bit of Little Skellig in the distance.

What's Going On?
Two puffins interested in something with Little Skellig again in distance.

Solitary Puffin
Leave me alone, I have a splitting headache.

Baby Bird Again
Yes, she's back look to the right.
