  • Flight

    Low level flying,
    Wings brush the tops of the waves.
    Freedom of the skies.

    Taken from the boat from Seahouses out to the Farne Islands. Although the main objective was to see the puffins, the boat trip was the perfect opportunity to try out the bird recognition function on the camera.

    Sorry, I can’t stop.
    Things to do, places to be,
    No wonder I puff.

    Not as fast as kingfishers I imagine, but puffins are like little bullets as they fly. Definitely they look like they are always in a hurry. The classic puffin photo shows them with a beak full of sand eels, but this shot was too early in the season, and there were no chicks to feed.

        A face like a puffin’s bum – the ultimate compliment
