Puffins Fratercula Arctica - Barry Carter Photographer

Puffins Fratercula Arctica

Often known as a clown bird for its unusual orange bill and yellow facial markings. Small, around 26-29 cms black with white front and unmistakeable bill. Stand upright on land and fly like little pocket rockets. Create burrows or find crevices to nest in. My favourite local patch for seeing these characters in June/July is the Farne Isles
