I love puffins. Before my trip to Washington the only species of puffin I had ever seen in the wild was the puffin of the Atlantic Ocean, the appropriately named Atlantic Puffin. At $55 a head, and free for toddler Desi, the chance to see puffins from a comfortable boat seemed too good to ignore.

I knew that the east coast of Newfoundland would charm me with its hundreds of thousands of Atlantic Puffins – since it is, after all, home to the largest Puffin colony in North America – but I had no idea that the gulls would be the ones to leave a lasting mark on me. Happy puffins.

Puffins growl like chainsaws, and one in Britain was seen carrying 62 fish in her beak.

My colleague Michaela absolutely loves Puffins and so I could not resist including this photo of a full-frontal puffin. Anyone who has tried to photograph the Blue Rock Thrush will know that it is not all that easy to get at eye-level with the bird; and finding a way to get the subtle blues to show is a serious challenge.
