Watching the sunset

I was told that young puffins are a local delicacy in Iceland, but I still prefer them perched on a rock, rather than between two halves of a breadroll :)

PS: someone asked about getting the nice pose... The setup was simnple: I spent two hours laying on the grass, with the camera next to the 'cave' which is the nest, waiting for Father Puffin to go out to air the feathers. Nothing more to it :)

Canon EOS 40D

Your patience really paid off - stellar comp and capture. I doubt I could eat one either. ~BV~
