    Puffin Isle of May

    The month of May is not the best time for photo opportunities on the Isle of May for puffins.
    Half the population are underground sitting on eggs the other half are either out on the sea or on the cliffs which was inaccessible.
    This was one of the only two puffins that was within reach to photograph.

    It may have been one of the only one's available Gary, but it was the right one, in the right pose, on the right background and in the right light. Nicely done.

    I have been in that situation many times before: expecting to find a target rich environment and you end up with virtually nothing. The clever bit is to get over the disappointment and make the best of what is there .............. even if every cell in your body just wants to have a tantrum and then go home!
