Puffin amongst the Maritime Grass

An Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) emerges from its burrow and cautiously surveys its territory at Crab Bay, Skokholm Island, West Wales. I used a wide aperture to transform the Maritime Grass into a beautiful bokeh of green and red which merges into the light brown colour of the cliffs behind. The muted tones of these hardy coastal plants and cliffs compliment the vibrant colours of the Puffin’s beak and reveal the subtle beauty of this cliff top habit.
