A Puffin Twitter Party by DanielHerr

Posted on October 23, 2015 by birdmanps

I swear, when you you see puffins in a group, you can get crazy. They look cute, the fly bad, they often move like pinguins and their chants sound like a chainsaw orchestra. I am glad, that this shot worked quiete well – freehand from a far distance.

It was late evening and I could catch the last light but my camera settings were not as brillant as the scene. But I just had to react and to take to chance to get them united in twittering.
