Time to begin the Holiday Photo Bombardment :)

I know that, like me, a lot of you like the puffins best of all, so I shall start with some pictures of them, even though we didn't go to see them until Thursday :)



We go nearly every year to visit the puffins on Lunga and mostly they trundle about , quite unconcerned about the funny humans and their doings. This time though they were rathe more interested in the funny visitors - and not at all shy about investigating us and our stuff…

This one crawled under Rob's leg to get a look at his camera case, which we think was being eyed up as a potential shed.



This one was more interested in my boots, I think I should write to the manufacturer and suggest they market them as "Tasted and Approved by the Puffins of Lunga"



Faithful Hound-Puffin :)



Puffin depilatory service. It's a snip…



This one was so bold as to hop up on my knee and then have a nibble at my fingers. A bit cheeky, but they're so cute, who could mind?



"Make sure you get my best side!" This one was quite interested in Rob's dangling lens cover :)



More puffins will be along later :)

Actually Icelanders eat them, but fortunately they don't come out to Lunga to hunt them :)

But then the range of native available food in Iceland is pretty narrow, so i suppose they had to eat pretty much anything they could get their hands on before international shipping was invented :)

You've read some of my entries about the food Icelanders eat - none of it sounds palatable, and it is entirely likely that if it tastes bad that they just melt suet over it or dip it in mayonnaise and eat it anyway....

Yes. I am jolly grateful I was not born an Icelander, let me tell you! :)
