Field Notes

Description:

Atlantic Puffins spotted around Skomer Island off the coast of Wales.

Smallish birds around 20cm or so high when standing with distinctive and beautifully coloured beaks.

Notes:

I hadn't really appreciated how small Puffins were until seeing them, or how fast they fly. Their landings on the water are entertaining too.
