Puffin in Flight

Puffin in Flight
Taken on the Island of Skokholm off the coast of Wales.

If you view large and look carefully, can see that this Puffin is "lightening the load" prior to landing :-))

Special K, Andy Rodker, , I Holzi and 23 other people have particularly liked this photo

Excelente toma. Es una lá´stima pero los frailecillos, al igual que los gorrionens y las golondrinas, están desapareciendo y disminuyendo mucho su número. El otro día vi una noticia sorprendente, en Islandia están colocando frailecillos de plás´tico en los acantilados porque los turistan demandan verlos y escasean. :-(((

Yes, there are a lot of species in decline at the moment..........mainly due to us humans. In the Puffins case it's probably to do with the over-fishing of sand-eels, their main source of food. Thanks for stopping by Marije.
