First of all I'd like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to David! You are the one who always remembers our (the ladies...) birthdays and you always enter a lovely image for us.
Thank you so much for that and I hope that you had a lovely day today!

Now folks... here's the puffins of Iceland...
A farmer near Ingólshöfdi in the south took us with his tractor and sheepscart to the island to go and see the birds.
Island is absolutely a bird's paradise! We really did see a lot of different birds there, but we specially liked the puffins... they weren't shy at all, in fact they were a bit curious about us, just as much as we wanted to see them, they wanted to see us too!

Here you see some of them on the rocks about 75m above the sea.

I cropped this off a larger image with more birds, but I thought I'd show them a bit closer up.
Hope you like it!

Cheers,
Anneke

a wonderful image which i am sure will score lots of points. i cannot fault this unless it is the need for the over large border.tfs

Hoi An,
Ja die beestje moet ik ook ooit nog een "life"zien.
Mooie diagonaal, misschien nog een beetje flets, maar wel weer een prachtig perspectief! Toppie Blondie :-)

Hello Anneke,

And they are such cute birds, with the big beaks..!
I like the composition with the strong diagonal, and the super details in the plumage...

Hi Anneke,

Puffins, what a funny name for a funny looking bird!
I'm trying to remember the name of these birds in Dutch, but I don't know it anymore. They don't just look funny, they are also beautiful with their typical beak!

Greetings,
Dennis
