Puff, puff, puffin

Thirteen years ago Husband and I visited Skomer, a tiny island off the coast of Wales. We were in search of puffins. I mention this because of Arctic Fox's blog post - you really should watch his wife's video of puffins. 



There were thousands of them, all over the place. Obviously used to humans they wandered across the paths in front of us quite happily.

Less happily we discovered that the rugby game between the Lions and an Australian side wasn't on live television this morning. Sky has the contract but an arrangement is in place whereby S4C, the Welsh channel, can show the games, which is how we were able to watch last Friday's game against Argentina in Dublin. But today's is the first game of the official tour so maybe the rules are tighter. It's on tonight at 8.00 pm so we are both resolutely attempting to avoid finding out the score until we can watch it.

I was surprised to discover that puffins are about the same size as blackbirds. I had always thought they were more the size of Mallards.

I've seen various photo vlogs of puffins.
