Puffin! And A Gannet

[michael23]

Here's a few from Bempton on Sunday. This Puffin is the first one I have seen out near the top of the cliffs, have seen them really close off pelagic trips before but never like this, only thing missing was sunshine on the puffin itself!

The Gannet was taken down by the Gannet Colony, it came nice and close, I quite like the tight crop.

Hi, thanks for comments, it can be tricky seeing Puffins at Bempton imo. I saw a total of around 30 on the water, but I got lucky with this one, we decided to take another look for Puffins on the top after failing and within 2 minutes this one appeared! He also kept coming back to the same spot every few minutes for around 10-15 minutes.
