Puffins

8/1/2019

On our way back to Cape Bonavista, we passed through Elliston, where there is a huge puffin colony just offshore. Even though it was a bright sunny day, there was a heavy fog along the coast. We made our way down the trail across the clifftops.....

..and even though there weren't many puffins, I did manage to capture one.....

Another lovely photo series. Especially love the first pic, and the closeup of the puffin and the one with the birds in flight!

There's just something about fog-covered cliffs. Although I would have preferred without the fog, since it was actually a bright sunny day.

My telephoto lens isn't that great, but I did manage the one clear photo of the puffin, although I did have to crop in a lot.

Puffins don't fly very well. They have short stubby wings, and always look like they are in a panic, franticly waving them up and down. They spend all their lives just bobbing on the ocean, and only come ashore to nest.

What lovely photos. The children are getting geography, history, and nature lessons all in one on this trip!
