“If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.” Chines proverb

How I love puffins!!!
Just look at this little clown. He wasn´t scared of me at all. I guess I was 1 1/2 meters away from this little fellow.

Really nice shot, although the contrast is a little high so the white belly is a bit overexposed. Other than that it's really good though!
