Some excellent photos from the BBC's Springwatch. I am so enjoying the series this year.

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Rod and I went to Puffin Island, a wild and windy place off the Kerry coast, with some friends who were licensed ringers/banders. They had to lie on their stomachs and reach into the puffin burrows to get the chicks out and band them. I could only go just so far onto those precipitous cliffs, so I was the Chief Chef... they loved me! Even got to band a few puffin chicks - under guidance. AND when night fell, we listened to the sound of the arriving Manx Shearwaters... I swear this is where the Irish got the "call of the Banshee" from. Splendid critters! And a once-only experience.

My dream is to see the puffins up in Nova Scotia.  Got up to Northern Maine once and was going to take the "fast ferry"  to  see them, but somehow never made it.  It's on my bucket list...to see the puffins.
