Six years ago when I traveled to Newfoundland to see Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) we watched from a boat as puffins flew over us, dove next to us, and landed near their burrows at Witless Bay. I knew they were not large birds but I was not close enough to judge their size.
Carl Bovis filmed one at Skomer Island, Wales where there are over 42,000 nesting pairs from April to July: “To cheer everyone up, here’s a little Puffin going for a little walk.”
Imagine a puffin at your feet …
… or even closer.
I wish I knew where this RM Video it was filmed!
A friend of mine in Wales just posted a ton of puffin pics from North Sunderland. Hope that helps .
