Puffins are back
Hello,
Hope you are doing well.
We have to leave my current flat by Friday and we will live in alternative flat for about a month, till all furniture comes for our new house. So there is still a lot to do and that is the main reason why I am still quiet posting here on Hive. But sure, I saw Hive price going up, but that didn’t mean much to me as I have no intention of selling, only powering up. Hopefully we will see Hive at 1$ and above and I will be able to make some money out of it as well. I still live dream that Hive will pay my family a nice 10 day travel to some nice destination one day.
Well after a short intro it is time to connect to content today which will be a photo set of a cute little bird from Iceland called Puffin. I am sure that quite a few feather friends here on Hive still remember that birds as they are so good looking and you can spot them in just few places around the World. There are three species and the one I will present today is Atlantic puffin which lives in Iceland which I visited in August 2020. Before I will go to photos I would like to share few facts with you.
I found very interesting that puffins are there only half a year, to be precise from April to September. So if you want to see them, better choose spring/summer time. Another fun, or maybe not so fun fact is that you can eat puffins in Iceland. There are plenty of restaurants which offer this as a speciality on their menu. I mean who would eat something that cute? For the end I will ask you about puffin’s weight. How much do you think they weight?
About the same as can of Coke. Funny right? I would bet they are heavier.
Enjoy the gallery and wish you a nice day!
These birds are so cute! Do people really eat this bird?
Unfortunately yes.
I didn't try them, but they say it is worth trying...
What brilliant photography captures on the steep ledge of this quaint little birds.

The terrain was really rough! It was hard to get some nice shots. But what to explain that to you as you certanly know bird photography very well!
Thank you very much for your support.
Cliff hanging bird photography I have not had the privilege of doing, can only imagine a slippery steep cliff ledge being used by these cute little birds. Almost bodes the question of living where high winds must drive through, cold and wet!
I think you had some Puffins modeling for you, it looks as if they are striking a pose for your camera.
I was quite lucky, but it is true that I spent whole day taking photos.
At the end it was very successful day for me.
Thank you for introducing us to such interesting and cute birds :) Are there many of them in Iceland? I guess they are if the birds end up as food in a restaurant. A very sad fact.
They are not everywhere on Iceland, but on only few places which are very remote. They are living on the cliffs/fjords on the West of the island. There are many there.
And yes, it is more of a sad than fun fact...

hello dear friend @ crazy-andy good afternoon
I am sure that the price of hive will continue to increase and without a doubt you can take your family on vacation as much as you want.
It is incredible that this beautiful bird is a favorite dish of some people
What beautiful diasparos, I appreciate very much that you have given us these images of this beautiful bird
have a splendid afternoon
Hmmm...
I am late right? Sorry about that. Busy days behind me.
Well proce of Hive is around 0.30 $ which is great in my opinion. I like how it didn't crash back to under 0.15 $. So there is even more hope for our family vacations from Hive budget.
Ohhh and yes, puffins are awesome to watch and taking photos!
Oh, they are so beautiful, i really need to visit them too.
Make sure to bookmark all the things I post from Iceland :)
You know I always enjoy Puffins, do you..?😊😄
Ohhh, by now I have to know that...
Thank you so much for your support and apologies for late reply.
I love them.
Thank you!
Puffins are truly adorable little creatures and I find them extremely cute! I would love to keep one as a pet - only if possible. I hope the people there would regulate or stop the consumption of these birds as food. It’s such a pity knowing that they are harmless and do not pose a real threat to mankind.
Wish you all the success in your house move. It’s only a matter of time and you’ll be up and ready in your new home. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words again Erne. I am very late with my reply as I had a lot of work with moving past few days and there will be a busy month ahead, but it will be all worth it at the end I am sure.
About puffins, they are really adorable. Probably the cutes looking bird I know. So it is pity to know that people are eating them, but on the other side it is tradition... Lets hope they at least know what they are doing and not making too much harm to this beautiful bird specie.
Photo of birds by the river, looks very natural..
Actually they are by the ocean, but that doesn't mean they are less natureal right?
Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you very much Feathered Friends team!
Keep up your great work.
I love seeing your excellent Puffin photos! I had no idea that people eat them! Sweet and Sour Puffin? Probably tastes like chicken. 🙄 I'll enjoy my Puffins in photos, not on a plate!
Same here!
I am meat lover and enjoyed in crocodile, oryx, warthog, kudu and much more, but puffin? No, thank you, I will skip that :)
Thanks for your support Melinda!
The are too cute, literally wants to hold them. The pictures are adorable, you are skilled.
I would also cuddle them, but you don't want to rund and trying to catch them on these edges of cliffs...
Thank you for the compliments.
Really cute animals...Which were photographed by a really good photographer😉
Thank you for the compliment.
Puffins deserve it for sure, but me? I am flattered...
Awww... They are super cute 😍
Amazing pictures and you captured them well, not a easy envirement to take pictures tho is it?
Really amazing shots, and about the Weight 🤔 Hmm... Have no idea.
Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful sunday. Cheers!
