Glorious night, and Puffins at Eshaness

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

A great night tonight for viewing puffins at the Eshaness lighthouse.  Inquisitive little fellows.  I found a nice spot to soak up some of that Eshaness sunset.

Puffins can dive to around 200ft, and feed mainly on small fish such as herring, sand eels and sprats.  They use their tongues to hold the fish while they catch more with their beaks.
