Signori e signore finalmente sono riuscito a trovare un PUFFIN
Da tanto tempo mi ero fissato che sarei voluto andare a vedere questi splendidi uccelli. Quando mi sono accorto che questi volatili erano presenti anche in Galles beh ho fatto di tutto per capire come poterli vedere. Sono tipo dei pinguini col becco arancione. Colori stupendi, zampe arancioni, piume bianco e nere e dimensioni super ridotte. Chiunque si aspettava un aspetto di almeno 50 centimetri a salire... invece questi uccelli sono veramente piccoli non credo superino i 30 centimetri il che rende ancora più difficile vederli.
Come vi avevo detto.. questi uccelli possono essere visibili sono in un breve periodo che va da maggio a luglio circa... ed in passato c'erano molti più esemplari che purtroppo son stati decimati dall'introduzione erronea del ratto grigio sull'isola. Quando questa piaga fu debellata il numero di volatili aumentò a 120 coppie... ma non tutte son presenti alla volta chiaramente. Vanno li fanno il nido e poi se ne vanno dopo che la covata si schiude ed il piccolo e' pronto a seguirli. Che spettacolo la natura ragazzi miei :)
Quando però ci stavamo avvicinando troppo beh ha deciso di lasciarci con una bella immersione mostrandoci solo il suo culetto e le zampette arancioni :)
nice puffs!

Pity you didn't have a better zoom. It will have been more lovely

the puffin was quite far from the boat... I toke pics with the zoom but I should have had an imagine stabiliser that the lens 70-300 I have doesn't. Therefore everytime I was zooming and the boat was doing a tiny movement because well we were on a boat :D the photos were coming quite blurry :(

Ah... the boat is to be blame. Now, time to think about a drone. I was in months trying to convince my lady I need a camera. Now, she's almost convince and I need to rework some other convincing.:-)

well the drone needs a licence to being used in this country therefore I don't think it will be my best option! and Yes the boat is to blame :(

We have some rules and more to come. I think there's mention that drone heavier that 25kg will need to be registered.

sounds legit to me! Anything that could pose people to a risk... needs to be controlled!

Le tue foto mi fanno pensare al Dodo un animale estinto circa 100 anni fa e che abitava soltanto a l' Ile Maurice.
