Gorgeous birds Ian :D Were they easily accessible, or did you have to crawl through some rough terrain for those?

Lovely shots Ian. Is the first one suffering from highlights on rock or is it bird poo?!
 
nice Ian, third for me too, lovely (y)
 
just seen these Ian
very good
I like #2 feather detail is amazing :clap:
but #3 is the best by far!! (y)
 
Nice set of pics Ian. When I went there last year I watched a pair of these who had nested at the rear of one of these cracks in the cliff trying to get past a pair of fulmars who had set up their nest at the entrance, it was quite amusing as the puffins tried to get past them as they were coming in and out of the nesting area.

Number 3 for me, love the way none of the black on the background cliffs touch the blackness of its feathers, just the white. Nice!(y)

I just need to know your address now :LOL:
 
I like puffins.. And I like pictures of puffins.. :)

But the way you've cruelly stacked those rocks around those puffins to stop them flying away just makes me so angry! :bat: Dontcha know all the best bird photographers use superglue now? Although Andy Rouse finds Nikon glue stronger and faster than Canon glue nowadays I hear. :thinking:
 
Great shots Ian :clap: Just got back from holiday , visited Skomer twice used 70-200mm for most of my shots.
