[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), also known as the common puffin, is a species of seabird in the auk family. It is the only puffin native to the Atlantic Ocean; two related species, the tufted puffin and the horned puffin, are found in the northeastern Pacific. The Atlantic puffin breeds in Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Newfoundland, and the Faroe Islands, and as far south as Maine in the west and the west coast of Ireland and parts of the United Kingdom in the east. Although it has a large population and a wide range, the species has declined rapidly, at least in parts of its range, resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN. On land, it has the typical upright stance of an auk. At sea, it swims on the surface and feeds mainly on small fish, which it catches by diving under water, using its wings for propulsion.

Hello Mark,
Beautiful in flight photo of this puffin. Great timing, sharpness and composition. Splendid contrasting colors.
Regards,
Peter

Great picture of this funny bird! I have just been reading that up in Canada they are experiencing a die-off due to climate change, so we need pictures of birds like this to remind us of how wonderful they are.

It's a pity we are allowed a puny sized picture here on TN, Mark. I would have enjoyed a much larger version. Nevertheless, it is a splendid capture at shutter speed 6400.
