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.

Shetland is a great place to view all sorts of wildlife including the puffin (left). These small seabirds with a large colourful beak have short wings adapted to a sort of ‘flying’ underwater. You can see these amazing birds within a short distance form the hotel.
