Shetland's Puffins return to their clifftop colonies in early April, two to three weeks later than colonies further south in Britain. As with all other seabirds, they only return to land to breed and raise their young and so may only spend one third of the year in and around their colonies.⁠ ⁠ Learn when and where to see puffins in Shetland in our blog, just follow our link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ 📍 Hermaness National Nature Reserve, Unst, Shetland ⁠ ⁠ #featherperfection #seabirds #birdsofinstagram #earthcapture #wildlife_perfection #birdphotography #60north #shetlandphotography #shetlandlife #promoteshetland #shetland #myshetlandlife #instashetland #whatshetlandmeanstome #visitshetland #shetlandersofinstagram #shetlandislands #shetlandisles #everythingshetland #inspiredbyshetland #shetlandtruenorth
