Jonathan, Love the puffins, and the blue footed booby is great; but I would love a shot of a bear in my collection. Nice job

JJphoto, good to see you back, and glad I could help.

I was following in Jonathan's footsteps last year, but didn't see any puffins. Here's what I found instead.

Ringed plover on nest, Sandaig Islands, Inner Hebrides, Scotland

Galapagos sunset

1D Mark IV, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 100mm, f/5.6, 1/400s, ISO 100

Why do blue-footed boobies get all the attention?

Galapagos sea lion pup

Finally, much closer to home, the full moon behind Dunottar castle.
