A Puffin landing near it's burrow on Inner Farne island. I love these little guys, they are so comical.
Puffin - Fratercula arctica Length 30cm
Endearing and unmistakable seabird, often allowing close and excellent views at colonies. Has mainly black upperparts but dusky white face and white underparts. Legs orange-red and bill huge and flattened, marked with red, blue and yellow. Winter adult and juvenile have grubby-looking faces and smaller, duller bills. Comes ashore only during breeding season from May to August. Nests in burrows on sloping, grassy cliffs and islands, usually in large colonies. In June and early July, returns to burrows carrying several fish, usually sandeels, in bill. Numbers and range reduced in recent years but still locally common in N and W Britain and Ireland. Spectacular colonies on Hermaness and Noss, both on Shetland, and on Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire. Utters strange, groaning calls.
Edit - Image changed to replace intrusive watermark with something more subtle.
oh i remember in summer i went to a little island called bleiks øya in norway, its known to be filled with those birds. and man that wasn't all we saw about 20 eagles there at the same time. and some other birds i don't know the name of. the sky was black with those birds we call em "lunde fugler" i think

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Life is too short. Everyday things happen, and things change. So, for me I try to capture the moments.
