I always enjoy seeing everyone else's images, but I seem to have turned into more of a lurker rather than a poster. In what will probably be an ineffective effort to curb that tide and rejoin the ranks, here's a large set taken during a family vacation to Scotland earlier this month. Five days in Edinburgh, five days in Ullapool, and a half-day trip to the Isle of May where almost all of these images were taken. I had been there once before a couple of years ago; on reviewing the images, I can't wait for a third trip.

Comment/criticisms/advice all appreciated. As Rudyard Kipling might have said, "One can never have too much red wine, or too many images of Puffins".

Greg, talent like yours shouldn't go unnoticed

This set is fantastic, I love the every so soft light you had. Your #7 and #8 are simply awesome in my eyes! I'm a sucker for Puffins so you got a big smile from me on each

Well seen, well presented

"One can never have too much red wine, or too many images of Puffins".
The only difference is you'll never get drunk with puffins (Not sure that is good or bad)
Hi stranger! So nice to see you posting some fine captures of these puffed looking and cool birds all nicely exposed and with fine detail. Well done!
I expect to see more from you

Great to see you putting up some images Greg. Not only images but top shelf images of some pretty difficult birds to expose properly. Excellent work on all of these. Too many here that I would be proud to call my own to pick favorites but I keep going back to 6. That one really pulls my eyes in so I would have to pick that as the best photograph. I also feel the need to remark on how well you did with the eyes of the Puffins. Those are so difficult to get right and you nailed them. The Guillemots, what we call Murres, are excellent examples of the species, well done.

Got more?
