Watch out, sand eels! The Puffin Express has arrived with a beak full of delicious cargo!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Andy Trowbridge, we witness the incredible balancing act of an Atlantic Puffin in flight. With its vibrant orange beak filled to the brim with wriggling sand eels, this skilled aviator is preparing for a smooth landing on Fair Isle, Shetland Islands. As the puffin gracefully descends from mid-air, you can almost hear its cautious thoughts: "Where should I touch down? Left foot first? Right foot first? Oh dear, decisions are hard!". This indecisive moment adds a humorous twist to our feathered friend's uncertain landing strategy. Against a backdrop of grey hues and coloured backgrounds, this photograph perfectly captures the essence of wildlife in action. It showcases not only the beauty and elegance of these seabirds but also their remarkable parental instincts as they gather mouthfuls of prey for their young ones. So sit back and enjoy this delightful snapshot that reminds us how nature always finds balance even when faced with uncertainty. And who knows? Maybe one day you'll have your own chance encounter with these charismatic creatures along the rugged shores of Scotland's western coast.
