Stomp, Puffin, Scotland
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve had a very long week, so here’s a bit of cuteness to welcome the weekend! This is one of my favourite puffin pictures, but going back through the archives it looks like I haven’t posted it here before – and if I have, sorry, hope you don’t mind seeing it again 🙂
Hesitant Puffin, Lunga, Scotland
It may be a little less of a traditional animal portrait than my other puffin pictures, but I think this more environmental portrait is one of my favourites. I love the hesitant pose of the little puffin, contemplating making the leap up to the next ledge – maybe he forgot that he has wings?
Sitting Puffin, Lunga Island, Scotland
Been a while since I posted any Puffin pictures, so here’s one of this little cutie holding a perfect pose for the camera.
Peeking Puffin (Puffins IV), Lunga Island, Scotland
We’ve had pictures of Expectant Puffins, Kissing Puffins, and Patient Puffin – now it’s time for Peeking Puffin! I had to wait a while for a Puffin to come and pose in between the clumps of flowers, but I think the end result was worth the wait.
On a Puffin-related note, I am pleased to announce that, in a rare bout of organisation, I have finished the Journey Photographic 2013 calendars! This year there’s two to chose from – a Scotland Calender, featuring Monday’s picture of Fingal’s Cave on the cover, and a special Puffin Calendar, for those looking for a cute Puffin fix all year round. You can check them out on Redbubble (which I highly recommend, BTW – their calendars are top quality).
Puffins (III), Scotland
One of the things which made the Puffins so fascinating to watch was their many ‘human-ish’ mannerisms – whether it’s waiting eagerly for other puffins to land, or mating couples rubbing their beaks together as a sign of affection.
