Puffins on Skellig Michael

During the 90 minute trip out to the Skelligs on the 'Agnes Olibhear' we spotted some Puffins. We asked our captain Eoin Walsh if there would be any on the island. 'You'll be kicking them out of the way' - he joked. He was right, there were many Puffins and they are not shy. So - for all you Puffin lovers here are some 'Skellig Puffins'

Puffins - wide angle lens - you can get closer

We said they were not shy

Puffin - in fact very friendly Puffin

Had enough Puffins yet?

You can never have too many Puffins
