*** About Atlantic Puffins: Atlantic puffins are known for their colorful appearance and are often referred to as "clowns of the sea." They breed in colonies on northern Atlantic coasts and islands, laying a single egg each year, which both parents help to incubate. What makes these birds so captivating is their capacity to swim underwater and fly, utilizing their wings as flippers to catch fish. Each year, puffins return to the same nesting site, often reuniting with their mate. Their diet primarily consists of small fish, which they catch by diving from the surface. The conservation status of Atlantic puffins has become a concern due to changes in their marine environment, making scenes like this both precious and poignant.
