The Puffins of Látrabjarg, Iceland
Hi Steemit people,
I wanted to share with you some pictures that i took of the resident puffins in the north of Iceland at Látrabjarg. Access to these wonderful birds is easy if you don't mind getting close to the cliff edge. We were lucky enough to see one breeding pair nesting really close to us and you can see that one of them was busy collecting nesting materials.
Im assuming it was the female of the pair that was staying at the nest, keeping an eye on what we were up to
And it was always good to see a safe return after a bit of time out at sea.
A quick shake to dry yourself off
And then you can happily be welcomed back by your partner.
But all that hard work flying and nest building can make you incredibly sleepy.
So while she sleeps, he is quite happy to pose for a beautiful portrait.
Thanks for reading. If you want to see more on my trip to iceland, please follow me and have a look at my Iceland video shot with a Mavic pro

As and Icelander I find your photos from your trip to Iceland very good. Many people just don't see my country as we do. You seems to have seen it as it is. Good story about the Puffins :)
Love your country, I just hope that the increase in tourism that was evident compared to my previous trip in 2009 is not detrimental to it in any way.
It is, sorry to say :( But hopefully it will balance out
Adorable creatures they are, and you did a good job @markangeltrueman. Upvoted, resteemed, followed & DPS.
Please state clearly how would you like to be featured in the “Daily Photo Selection”: with a linked photo, or with link only without a photo. We are making a list of photographers who are ready to improve the visibility of their work through the DPS. Thank you.
A link to the whole post would be great if that's possible
Of course it will be a link to your whole post @markangeltrueman, just like with everyone else in the DPS. The question is do you like it with the photo or without a photo. Can you decide on this, please?
They are such cute birds that almost don't look like birds :D
A very nice contribution, which I take with for "My Steemit Favorites Part 15.
