Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Who doesn't love a Puffin? They are a species of Auk (Alcidae) and are pelagic, meaning they spend most of their life out at sea and come back to land only to breed. You can see them around much of the UK coast line from mid April through to Mid August. The best views I have had were in the North East of England and Scotland.
