Taken on the cliffs of Grimsey. I would sit at the edge and wait for them to cross and get the background... I was fairly close to the bird and used my 100-400mm, here the focal length is 280mm. Whats missing are fish, as the puffin hunter would use his long net and catch a puffin if they didn't have any fish. The "theory" is if they didn't have any fish then they didn't have a chick to feed so they were eligible for hunting... Not wise to have a bad fishing day if you are a puffin.
