Late morning does not offer the best light, but we certainly got some great puffins! They were all out and getting ready to set off for feeding!
We found a few rafts of Atlantic Puffins mixed with Razorbills.
Large rafts of Black Guillemots drifted by, feeding silently for the most par, until we moved the skiff.
Male and female Common Eiders we abundant! A few females had young with them. The young are often protected by several aunts along with the mother, while gulls wait patiently for a chick to wander off…
A couple of Spotted Sandpipers could be found along the rocky shoreline, barely visible in this image, the birds were sporting their namesake adornment!

These Herring Gulls seem to be having a standoff over the true dangers of going ashore!
