And the terrified gaze of the subject says it all

Thanks Luigi.
@Basketsam83, the thing is not as dramatic as it seems: on the island of Skomer the Puffin nest in thousands of pairs all over the island. Paradoxically, one of the richest colonies is right around the landing.
Access to the island is limited, and visitors cannot leave the authorized routes. To the left and right of the path the ground is riddled with nests, and in each nest lives a pair.
To take this picture, standing on the path, I looked upstream, put the focal length at 400, underexposed a little and pressed the shutter.
In development, a bit of crop, a circular gradient filter to lower the brightness of the contour and you're done.
No Puffin was mistreated to get this photo.
I've been birdwatching for 40 years, and I have a certain ethic...

I know the situation, I've been to the Farne and it's the same thing... but I have never come so close as to even shoot inside the den ...
In any case better so

I believe that today it is no longer possible to land on the Farne, after Covid they have not been reopened.
I am fascinated by the Anglo-Saxon naturalistic tradition and I try to attend the reserves managed by associations aimed at conservation.
Greetings.

They are actually open but they don't make you stay the whole day, only 1h per island...
We'll see next year
