Sumburgh Head

Puffin in flight. Some locations along the cliffs were exposed to strong winds from the ocean on this day. Puffins would launch themselves from the edge and partly hover as they glided downwards. This gave just enough time for photography. They are otherwise difficult to get in flight because they are small and very fast flyers.
