A puffin carries fish to feed its chicks. “The dark backdrop of the shadowed cliffs highlights the puffin's vibrant, colourful beak and the shimmering silver of the captured fish,” explains Llobera. “The Saltee Islands are a paradise for these captivating birds and provide a safe haven for nesting and feeding. Being there, so close to the puffins, was a long-awaited and beautiful experience. Sitting on the ground with my camera, surrounded by puffins among the cliffs, was incredible. Despite spending over ten hours under the sun, rain, and wind, every moment was worth it.”
