An Atlantic Puffin flying away from the viewer, silhouetted slightly against a grey sky, carrying fish in its beak over rippled blue water.
When you try your hardest to capture a majestic wildlife moment, and the wildlife gives you the cold shoulder. This Atlantic Puffin has places to be and a mouthful of fish to deliver. It does not care about my photography portfolio. We're all doing our best here!

A middle-of-the-night photo shows an golden orange glow through a window casting shadows of the window munnion (mullion) with hanging and potted plants, lightly illuminating in the same hue a framed photograph on the wall of two puffins standing on a rock.

A solitary Atlantic Puffin flying swiftly over deep blue, rippled ocean water.
Airborne? Yes. Smooth sailing? Not quite yet. This little Atlantic Puffin flying fast and low over the choppy water is exactly what the middle of the week feels like. Just need to navigate a few more rough patches and keep flying straight toward the weekend! 🌊

DescriptionDoing the Wave by Karen Cook - Two Atlantic puffins stand on a rocky outcrop under a clear blue sky, with one puffin flapping its wings while the other looks on. The scene captures a moment of vibrant wildlife amidst rugged coastal rocks.

Two Atlantic Puffins in the ocean, actively taking off with wings spread wide, kicking up a chaotic splash as it runs on the water.
Hard work isn't always elegant! With wings built for swimming, Atlantic Puffins must awkwardly run across the waves flapping 400 times a minute to get airborne. Channeling this exact unglamorous, water-flailing, take-charge energy to conquer this Tuesday! 🚀

Two small Atlantic Puffins with black and white plumage and colorful beaks bobbing together on choppy blue ocean water.
Monday motivation from these two Atlantic Puffins! 🌊 When the start of the week feels like a massive, choppy ocean, sometimes the best strategy is to simply just float on. Take a deep breath, ride the waves, and you will get through it! 🐧💙

Thousands of dead #puffins have washed ashore on the coasts of #Europe. The birds died in storms at sea. There is a possibility of losses in the #Icelandic breeding population.

Thousands of dead puffins wash ashore In recent weeks, thousands of dead puffins have washed ashore on European shores. The birds are killed in storms at sea. A biologist believes that the Icelandic breeding population is likely to decline. A tagged puffin that had been breeding in the Vestmannaeyjar Islands recently washed up dead on a beach in Portugal. It is one of thousands that have washed up on shore in Europe in recent weeks. Tens of thousands of bird carcasses have washed ashore in Portugal, France, Spain and the UK since January, the majority of which are puffins. This has been reported by the BBC , among others. "This is not that uncommon, it happens all the time. But what people are really worried about is that the frequency of storms, and especially how long they last, is increasing in the wake of warming," says Erpur Snær Hansen, a biologist who has studied puffins for decades. The birds die in prolonged storms at sea. "What people think happens is that in the turbulence that occurs in these storms, the food sinks from the surface and then it is more difficult for these divers to reach the food. They have to work harder to reach the food and end up not getting enough to stay alive, the poor thing," says Erpur Snær. The birds they tagged have mostly been found breeding in Scotland, but Erpur says he has received a report of one bird from the Icelandic breeding population. "It just so happened that I received a recovery report that one bird that was tagged here in Stórhöfði in the Vestmannaeyjar Islands washed ashore in Portugal. So some marginal percentage of our birds are there in this area." Erpur says the Icelandic breeding population, which is larger than the Scottish one, remains further west and in a larger area of water than the birds that have been washing ashore in Europe.
Part 2/2 "The bulk of our bird's distribution is in a much larger area and more oceanic west of Europe. On the other hand, we don't know the size of these carcasses because they are so far out to sea that these carcasses never reach land, as is currently happening in Europe." Are you worried that this could be a blow to the Icelandic stock? "Yes, this could very well be the case. One is particularly concerned now that the frequency of these storms is clearly increasing."

Many are surprised that I talk about natural climate change – yes, it exists ... as a "pure" one and as a very large consequence of, at some points very small, man-made things.
Here is one of these consequences

A painting of three puffins in a patch of pink sea thrift flowers. The puffin is a small auk, familiar as the ‘clowns’ of the coast with their brightly coloured bills, bumpy landings and waddling walk. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Watercolour and mixed media painting on acid free watercolour paper. Approximately 6x8"(15.24 by 20.32 cm) will fit an 8x6" standard frame.

Can you help the puffins of the Trégor coast. After a winter of storms many have been rescued by the LPO (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux)
These iconic birds, symbols of Perroz Guireg/Perros Guirec (22), need your help

#FourOrMore of my favourite birds on Skomer in Wales. Last year saw record numbers land for the spring/summer. Hopefully there hasn’t been a setback in the population increase as thousands of deceased birds have been washing up on European beaches. #BirdOfTheDay #puffins #birds #nature #photography
