Puffin Watch

The great sandstone cliffs at Dunnet Head are now around 75 metres high and this young lady is on the wrong side of the fence above an almost sheer drop, obviously a good head for heights, but perhaps the sight of a puffin is worth the risk,
Other residents of this most northerly point on the British mainland include guillemots, fulmars, razorbills and kittiwakes.

A terrific capture Roger. Quite a risk standing so close to the edge but it must be thrilling to watch the little puffins here. Too nervous to do it myself but I envy her.

HFF and have a good weekend

Not far from the sight too of my first puffin photo captures too (Duncansby Head). I can understand the 'why' she is there but as you say, somewhat dangerous and nerve-racking too for the passing camera toting strangers. Great capture here from yourself. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
