Backlighting Backlit Bird Flight Flying Guy Edwardes Puffin Fratercula Arctica Scottish Highlands Seabird
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and grace of a Puffin in flight, soaring above the Shiant Islands in the Scottish Highlands. The Puffin, scientifically known as Fratercula arctica, is a beloved seabird native to the British Isles and can often be found along the rugged coastlines of Scotland. The image showcases the bird's distinctive black and white plumage, with its vibrant orange beak standing out against the backdrop of clear blue skies. The photographer, Guy Edwardes, skillfully captures this moment with perfect backlighting that illuminates every detail of the Puffin's wingspan. As one of nature's most agile flyers, this Puffin effortlessly glides through the air, showcasing its remarkable aerial abilities. Its streamlined body and webbed feet make it well-adapted for diving into water to catch fish or other small prey. The Shiant Islands provide an idyllic setting for these charismatic birds to breed and raise their young during summer months. With their rocky cliffs and lush greenery, these islands offer a picturesque habitat for various wildlife species. This photograph not only celebrates the natural beauty of Scotland but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these precious ecosystems. It reminds us that even in remote corners of our planet like the Shiant Islands, incredible creatures like this Puffin continue to thrive thanks to conservation efforts.
