Puffin in flight looking at the camera in Iceland

This is a cute puffin in Iceland flying by so fast so I had to slow it right down to have a good look at this beautiful bird.
Ever since I found out about this surreal bird being indeed real I wanted to know where I could see one life. I researched and found out that it is native to Iceland. I never had any intention of going to Iceland before, but since I wanted to see this bird, I traveled to this amazing and enchanting place, which I may never have visited were it not for the puffin. I instantly fell in love at first sight of them on a cliff in Iceland during their mating season where their beaks turn all colourful. They are so fast in flight and their wings flatter so hard and fast. We spent a few hours watching them fly past and it was not an easy task to capture one flying past in front of my camera, it was also very windy and required effort trying to keep the camera somewhat steady. So, not only did I capture this cute bird flying past, but it also looked in my direction as it did. I will always cherish the journey to that beautiful country. The sight of puffins was just one amazing moment to remember and I am glad I get to share it with you.
