Description
The second puffin in a series about my adventures returning home to Wales after many years away. Puffins are my favourite bird and funny, weird little creatures. Nicknamed the clown bird. If you ever get a chance to see them in action and trying to land you will know why. I had the pleasure of sitting amongst their burrows up in the Treshnish Isles, in the Hebrides of Scotland. This image was created from a photograph by wildlife photographer Gary Jones with his kind permission.

Barbara they really are unique. I had the chance to sit a few hours amongst their burrows and watch them up real close. Your words are spot on they are special!
