The nicest day of the year so far and the day has been spent taking pictures of birds.

Very impressive pics. Are you in hides or what, how do you get such close up shots?
No hides all stood out in the open stood on tracks adjacent to burrows, at some points you could reach out and grab the puffins, they supposedly have no genetic fear of human beings.......
Sounds cool, I can honestly say I have never seen a Puffin in the 'wild'.
That surprises me Mr Wolf ... I thought there was all sorts of wildlife and creatures around your neck of the woods ;D ;D
What do they taste like?

Plenty of creatures, mostly human, thats for sure but not much wildlife, especially of the animal variety!
the icelandic eat them apparently I would say they would taste very fishy
