Feathered Friday - More From Skomer Island - Steve J Huggett

![puffins at skommer island - by steve j huggett (7).jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSP6ibX6cMMr812cLr9VZweHeERHNTPHcwd7oANjatQYK)

I took loads of images, while on my trip last year around Skomer island, to see the Puffins I thought I should go back and edit a few more images. 

They nest in burrows which are located next to the path down to the small jetty the visitors use to get on and off the boats.

They are so fast, they prove a challenge to get good photographs.

I recognized that bird right off the bat, most times I don't, but we have Puffins in Alaska also and they are a trip to see.

I bet your trip to see them is a lot colder than mine, being in Alaska!

I have actually only went to see them once, and yes it was cold, but kind-of-dorta fun. We went out on a boat tour out of Seward, those boat tour drivers are pretty nuts, at one point I thought we were going to hit one of the out crops, he managed to get the boat stopped about five feet away, that was almost 30 years ago. So it made quite the impression on me.

I would love to see Puffins!  You've done a great job capturing them so, for now, I can just look at yours.  (Look at the money I'm saving...)  Thanks so much for using the Feathered Friday tag.  Voted and resteemed :-)
