I had a great week in Iceland. We spotted Puffins in two locations. The other location we were down by the water and the ones swimming were too far out for my lens. The third location we were going to try required a tractor ride to get out too, which was a bit too long of a wait for the next excursion. This was my first time seeing these birds in the wild and I enjoyed it quite a bit. There were a ton of other photographers at this spot, so I'm hoping to see some other posts here. I don't shoot much wildlife so C&C is greatly appreciated.

All shots were with my 5D and 70-200F4 IS

4. This would have turned out much better if I had AI servo and IS set to panning mode. I caught this as I was heading back to the car after giving up of not having any flying near by.
