Lundis at Dyrhólaey

Puffins (fratercula arctica) breed in large colonies, building their burrows near cliff tops.
Very few of the puffins at Dyrhólaey laid eggs in 2014 due to lack of sandeels to feed their young (a consequence of global warming) . The colonies on Vestmannaeyjar are also threatened whereas colonies in the north are still thriving.

A superb shot, Gudrun. Beautifully sharp. Love the out-of-focus background.....a perfect backdrop. A fave shot for me.
