Lundis at Dyrhólaey

Puffins (fratercula arctica) breed in large colonies, building their burrows near cliff tops.
Very few of the puffins at Dyrhólaey laid eggs in 2014 due to lack of sandeels to feed their young (a consequence of global warming) . The colonies on Vestmannaeyjar are also threatened whereas colonies in the north are still thriving.

1000 mm (e.q. 35 mm) Zoom - something I can only dream about...

Actually, this is a crop of a larger photo! 200m plus 1,4 converter is not long enough on full format... The 100-400 would have been nice, but it's awfully heavy so I doubt I'll ever buy that.
With bridge cameras or crop DSLR you get much longer zooms!

A superb shot, Gudrun. Beautifully sharp. Love the out-of-focus background.....a perfect backdrop. A fave shot for me.
