Puffin landing with sand eels
Puffin landing amidst a field of spring wildflowers during the breeding season. An Atlantic Puffin carrying a mouthful of sand eels to feeds its young. Puffin landing from flight, its wings spread to slow its descent as it lands on a hillside strewn with white sea campion. Puffins in flight are a wonderful sight in the British Isles during the breeding season during spring and early summer. For the remainder of the year they disperse throughout the colder regions of the Atlantic and North Sea.
Stunningly beautiful wildlife photography. Our bird pictures are printed individually to order in high resolution with vibrant colours. All of our prints will provide you with beautiful wall décor for years to come.
