Can you spot a Puffin?

One of the things that I wanted to make sure I did while living in Scotland was to see an Atlantic Puffin.  I found out that along the cliffs just south of Aberdeen, Puffins nest during May and June.  I found that the local Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was giving Pick Out A Puffin! walks.  So I signed up!
What better way to see puffins than from a bird enthusiast!  We learned all about the sea birds that nest along the cliffs near Aberdeen.  Here are some pictures from my evening walk on one of the most beautiful Scottish days I've had yet.  It was still 75 degrees at 8 PM!
