Puffin bird in high grass

The puffin bird, often referred to as the "clown of the sea," is a charming and distinctive seabird known for its vibrant appearance and comical behaviors. With its striking orange beak, marked by a colorful triangular pattern, and a contrasting black and white plumage, the puffin stands out against the rugged coastal landscapes it inhabits. These proficient fliers are expert swimmers as well, using their wings to "fly" underwater in search of small fish to feed on. Picture taken on Runde island Norway.
