Opportunistic feeder !

Birds prefer to build their nest in places that are difficult for terrestrial predators to reach. However there is only so much prime real estate available and they have to stretch out. That provides an opportunity to get food for its own family. Species: Red fox.

Looking ahead !

It was the start of the nesting season and this bird must be thinking about the long journey that lies ahead. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

View from the Top !

It was a different opportunity to photograph a bird from the top. It was a long way down and this bird had the best view. Species: Northern Gannet.

Masters of disguise !

I watched this cliff for a few minutes, but did not spot any wildlife. If this fox hadn't moved, I would have missed it. Nature provides them the best camouflage. Species: Red fox.

Need to work fast !

These birds nest on coastal cliffs, which are often battered by high winds. Whenever the winds died out, they made it a habit to work fast on building their nests. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

Both legs up !

These birds have a comical walk as their feet are set back on their bodies. However I did not expect this one to have both the legs in the air while walking. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

Disagreement !

Sometimes you have to get it all out in the open. During nesting season, real estate is at its prime. First come, first served. Species: Black Guillemots.

Enjoying the view !

These birds live in some of the most scenic locations. I wonder whether they pause to enjoy any of that. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

Love at first light !

When the day starts out so beautiful, it is only customary to show affection to each other. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

Cape St. Mary's XXX

Cape, St. Mary's; what an excellent location to observe and shoot kittiwakes and other seabirds!

Backlight magic !

These birds were landing every so often on this hill. The sun had just started to rise and I did not have enough light yet. I got into position with the sun behind the bird to try and accentuate the feathers. I got lucky. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

Cape St. Mary's XXVI

Cape, St. Mary's; what an excellent location to observe and shoot kittiwakes and other seabirds!

Early morning light magic !

The sun had just started to rise and this bird knew how to make the most of it. It came to this place looking to gather some things for its nest, that was in the coastal cliff just behind it. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

Feeling right at home !

Even though they nest at the edge of the cliff, looking at their demeanour they make it seem as if there is nothing to worry about. Species: Atlantic Puffin.

Waiting for the right moment !
