Another interesting shot, using a Panasonic G9 with my Canon 300mm 2.8 Is II on a Metabones Ultra adapter.

Fantastic photography.
What beautiful birds.
Do they swoop down and scoop up all those little fish in one go? Can't see it any other way, but mind boggles how it happens.
Extremely Well captured.

The last thing one of these fish sees!


Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Hi!

The jaws of the puffin enable it to carry multiple small fish simultaneously. While the jaws of many other birds are hinged at one point, the puffin’s beak has a flexible hinge, allowing it to control the degree to which its mouth opens. In addition, the upper and lower jaws of the puffin are joined together with a soft and stretchy piece of flesh known as a “rosette”, which allows the puffin to open its mouth even wider than the average bird. The inside of the upper jaw is also textured with a series of “spines” known as denticles, which point back towards the throat. The puffin can hold its prey against the denticles with its strong tongue, and can continue hunting for more prey while holding its previous catch in place.

Puffins on average carry around 10 fish at a time, but have also been sighted carrying up to 60 fish simultaneously.
