Puffins onTory Island

This is the final post from Tory Island featuring the Puffins I saw am linking it with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY .  I saw all of them from the high cliffs you have previously seen on the videos and the ones in the water area unfortunately very small.  I have a short video at the end, a bit shaky however it was the best I could get as I was on my tummy very near the cliff edge!!!  I suggest you put it into slide mode and enjoy.





















You can access the video at


If there is a black space below, click it and the video will appear.

I hope you enjoyed seeing not only the Puffins on this post but also the magnificent scenery and birds ­­­­­­of Tory Island on many of the previous posts over the past fortnight.

­­­­­­­­Thanking you for visiting.


Many thanks for comments you have left on any of my posts.

    I love Puffin! They are so cute and sweet looking.

    Norway has the second largest puffin population, with several large colonies.

  15. We're going after the Atlantic Puffin next week! Thanks for sharing. These birds face some huge issues with climate change and their food distribution. There are certain kinds of fish they use to feed their young but they aren't finding them in the areas that they normally would(because the water is heating up and the fish route has changed) Therefore, they are feeding their young bigger fish that the younger ones can't consume. At least this is the story of the Atlantic Puffin. Thanks for sharing! Chris

  16. They are awesome, and the cliffs are beautiful. You really laid on your stomach on the edge of a cliff? Wow, the things bloggers will do for a post, I have done some pretty scary things myself. Things I would never do if I did not blog.

  25. Such delightful birds! They are on my life list. I'm going to have to travel to Canada's east coast to see them, which I plan to do next year. Wonderful captures Margaret!
