@WanderingTrader How was it prepared? I can imagine they’re tasty little birds. I remember watching the F Word and Gordon Ramsey went out to catch puffins to eat. I was somewhat sad to see the little buggers netted and killed, but he sure made them look good.

Super cute puffin pictures! They look so funny. I only saw them from a distance when I was in Iceland… you got some mega-closeups. When I was a kid I used to have this penguin toy that you wind up and it would swim around in the bath… they look just like that… little ridiculous wind up toys when they fly. So cute

I was somewhat enthralled with puffins as a girl. There was a book or movie I loved about them. Something like that. This took me back and I REALLY enjoyed it!!

Gosh golly they are cute! Fed a diet of sand eels eh.. hmmm, maybe that’s what gives their coat that gorgeous sheen and their beaks that healthy bright color;) I never saw them when I was in Scotland.. Lovely post, thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone for the comments! They’re funny wee birds. And yes, Tobermory is a pretty great spot to photograph as well! Best after a whisky!

How adorable!!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a puffin in real life. I would have never thought they would be in Scotland of all places! Then again, I haven’t made it to Scotland’s west coast yet. Very cute
