And yet another great photograph from victorcerutti on flickr.

This puffin is scooping down. Colorful beak. The clown of the sea swimming about finding food. Great action image capture.

Another fantastic photo by victorcerutti on flickr. Poetry in motion. This is a puffin landing…they are pretty fast and this photographer captured the motion very well.

What a great photo. It shows the bill after mating season when it is not as colorful and it shows the puffin when it is wet. A very natural and wonderful photograph.

A note from the photographer:

The story behind this picture is that I live in Westman islands, Iceland and in august every year the small puffins
fly to the lights in the town and the people (mostly children) go around and save them and send again to sea.

I found this one on my front door step one, one night when I come home and we put in a box for a night and the next morning we went to the shore to let the puffin go. But I took a picture of it before.

For few years ago we rescue a lot of puffins, from maybe 5 to 100 for one night. But now there are so few puffins that
it´s a luck to find one.

Thanks again to the photographer. You can check out this photo and more of hers by clicking here.
