Puffin at Rest
From £32.00
No fish this time, just a puffin taking a quiet moment against a wall of green, proof they're not always mid-errand. That red-rimmed eye and triangular pupil give puffins an oddly startled look even at their calmest.

Atlantic puffins spend most of the year far out at sea, only coming ashore to breed in dense cliff-top and island colonies each spring and early summer. The Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast hold one of the UK's largest colonies, with tens of thousands of pairs nesting in rabbit burrows and rock crevices; an adult can carry a dozen or more sand eels at once, wedged crosswise in that famously colourful bill.
