I have always wanted to see puffins in the wild but, since they spend a great deal of their life at sea or at the other side of the world when they migrate, the chances are limited. My husband and I had a great time seeing the puffins in Wales last weekend.\u00a0 On Sunday afternoon we took the boat out to Skomer Island where we were told we would see a veritable blizzard of puffins.\u00a0 There were thousands of them alright but I wasn\u2019t prepared for how small they are and how fast they fly.\u00a0 I gave up on trying to take pictures and just enjoyed watching their crazy antics.\u00a0 However, I did manage to get a couple of shots that have been enlarged by my telephoto lens and the cropping tool on my computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interesting fact \u2013 the multi coloured bills of the puffins only exist during the breeding season.\u00a0 Both male and female puffins lose their coloured bills once they head out to sea.\u00a0 Amazingly, there have been records of puffins from Skomer Island arriving in Argentina fourteen days later!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
