Puffins

I love Puffins.  Puffins are incredible little birds with a big attitude.  These birds are usually found in the arctic regions and I have photographed them in Iceknd and Svalbard.   They are known for diving off of cliffs, catching krill and returning to their burrows where they feed their young.  These birds can fly like no other bird.  they have a unique sound and they are just plain cool.  If you get to Iceland you should definately make viewing puffins high on your list.

Puffin


When visiting Iceland it is a fun side trip to find and visit a puffin colony.  These cute birds usually nest along cliffs and there are some spots in Iceland where they are quite prevalent.  They are colorful birds and put on quite a show.  During the nesting times, these birds will fly into the ocean, grab some krill and fly up to the cliff.  They then wait a few minutes to make sure the coast is clear and then fly to their chicks with a mouth full of food.  I shot a ton of images of the Puffins and used the Fuji XT-2 and 100-00mm lens.  It was great fun plus I got some nice images.
