3 km from Balnakeil, Highland, Great Britain

Puffin colony on Faraid Head

Nesting in burrows and laying only one white egg, the Puffin is a great favourite with young and old alike. Also known as the Sea Parrot because of its brightly coloured bill it is a comical bird to behold and a frantic flier.
