An Atlantic puffin hot-footing it across a meadow in search of fresh vegetation for its burrow.
Puffins breed on the Isle Of Lunga, and in an effort to keep their burrows (used as a nest) clean or perhaps less smelly, the adults search for vegetation to line them.
Some of the best stuff is across the meadow, and they run around looking for it. So funny!

@petewalkden Beautiful! It's a shame bird flu has impacted on them so badly. I'm sure I read about the birdlife being devastated through flu on an island?
@MelissaPhillips Avian Flu is awful. We didn't see any real problems this breeding season on Lunga, but we won't know how it has affected their numbers until they return next spring. Shetland and other isles suffered almost unimaginable losses. Heartbreaking.
