What is cuter than a puffin? Two puffins! O.K. this is a lame joke but it's true: those birds are just wonderful!

As you already may know I'm a big Iceland fan. I visited this fascinating island two times with my wife (2014 and 2015) and loved everything about it: the breathtaking nature, the people - and of course the puffins!

Puffins breed in large colonies, the female puffin lays one single egg in April / May, during the hatching time (about 40 days) the parents work together, they both incubate the egg.

Usually a tunnel leads to the nest. The breeding place is used again in the following years, Puffins have a  long-term relationship.

Summertime...Don't you just love the beak of this cute birds? After fledging, the pufflings (isn't this a cute name for the chicks?) spend the first few years of their lives at sea, returning to breed about five years later.
