Another series of shots from Sumburgh Head on Shetland.
This bird seemed to be the only one left to be seen from the top of the cliff where we were. We were very lucky as it was late in the season. The bird seemed quite unfazed by a busload of grockles peering over the fence from a short distance away. Quite a privilege, and also the guvnor's first puffin!    
Thank you, and Good Night.... 
Colin

Wow, lovely shots Colin!  Really characterful, and what a lovely setting, with the daisies in the background.

Lovely shots, we went to Shetland last year to see the Puffins, Sumburgh Head is a lovely spot. I highly recomend Hermaness as well although the glimpses can be a bit more fleeting as there are Skuas about!
