Isle of May - Puffins

Puffins (Fratercula arctica)- the most colourful of the seabirds with their brightly coloured bills and bright orange legs.
 



Good to see them with their beaks full of sand eels - food for the chicks, also known as pufflings. The parent birds raise a single chick in underground burrows.
