#058 Untimely End

Our seabirds are having a tough time this winter
This Puffin is one of the victims of the recent harsh conditions
coupled with a shortage of sandeels on which they feed,
which seems to be being put down to overfishing.

Had a hard time choosing todays shot,
I also took these on our afternoon out at North Berwick :

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
1/50s f/9.0 at 100.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I walk through a park every morning to get to work. It's getting very concerning the number of dead birds there are.

The web of life is so intricate...this poor little guy is one example of how fragile that web is.

Well captured and appropriate, given that there is currently a study being conducted into why the seabirds are dying.

A sorry sight, John. Your others are very good too, especially of Claudia.

A sad commentary.

A Monty Python "Dead Puffin Sketch" - nice to see North Berwick pics to remind me of home !
