Puffins are one of those birds that almost look made up - all bright bill, neat shape, and slightly comic proportions - until you actually try to photograph them well. These images were made off Bridlington in summer, where the conditions can change quickly and the birds never seem interested in making life easy. They are full of character, but there is nothing casual about getting a clean frame. When the light is kind and the pose is right, though, they are hard to beat.
