Fantastic! I was very disappointed not to get to photograph the Puffins this year again - I had actually booked a 2 night stay on Skomer island but that was cancelled due to Covid-19. Fortunately they have moved the booking to next year as it was really difficult to book it - literally took me days! I doubt I will get as good a photo as this though. Congrats!

Thought this was you. Have seen quite a few of these birds (with and without the sand eels) but never managed to get an image this beautiful. Congrats on the Yellow!

Edited by artroflmao, that’s unusual to put on a book cover just saying :-)

Love the photo.
