It's been a longtime wish of mine to see a puffin in real life. It was my mum's favourite bird, and she always called them by their Shetland name, Tammy Norrie. Today, I finally succeeded in getting myself to the Isle of May Nature Reserve in Fife, where I saw lots of the funny little puffin, but also many other nesting sea birds. A great day.
What a fabulous shot of this beauty. I saw a documentary on them some time ago, since then they have become my favourite birds. Wish I could get to see one.
@olivetreeann It is in the wild actually, Anne - maybe sanctuary is not the correct term - I believe it's a Nature Reserve. It's an island off the coast of Scotland, which allows restricted visitors. There are three boats a day which go to the island from April to September. All the birds there are wild.
