Fishy Business - Puffin Shows Off Impressive Catch on Saltee Island!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by photographer Pal Hermansen, we witness a comical moment in the life of a puffin. This feathered friend, known as Fraterclua arctica in scientific circles, proudly struts its stuff with a fish dangling from its beak. The stunning backdrop of Saltee Island, Ireland adds to the charm and beauty of this scene. With its vibrant orange beak and expressive eyes, our feathery protagonist seems to say, "Look what I've got!". It's clear that this puffin has mastered the art of fishing. Perhaps it's showing off for potential mates or simply trying to impress fellow seabirds with its impressive hunting skills. The June 2009 encounter between this puffin and its finned prey showcases nature's wonders at their finest. As part of Wild Wonders of Europe project, Hermansen captures the essence of wildlife in all its glory. From auks to eels and everything in between, these creatures bring joy and fascination to our lives. So next time you're strolling along the shores of Saltee Island or any other coastal area in Europe, keep an eye out for these charismatic birds! You never know when you might witness another amusing moment like this one – where a puffin becomes the star performer with a fishy surprise!
