Puffin

 

If you take a small fishing boat off the eastern shore of Wales to Skomer Island in the Irish Sea, you’ll be in a bird sanctuary. The birds live on the sea and many next in the cliffs. The black and white birds are Manx  Shearwaters but my favorites are the Puffins. The live on the ocean coming to land to hatch there eggs in tunnels they dig in the dirt. They are unafraid of humans, never being harmed. I was able to walk up to a few feet from them.

You can see these in the Birds Gallery.
