Puffins

A puffin sits proudly upon his nest on the bluff. This photo was taken in the rain, with a shutter speed of 1/4000 second, so those white spots you see are actually raindrops contrasting the black sand beach behind it. The black sand is made up of 50/50 sand and volcano ash.


A puffin proudly shows off his freshly caught lunch.


Lunch aside this is my favorite Puffin shot.

Raindrops bead up on the back feathers of a puffin preparing to take flight.
