Norway - Norge - Noreg Nordland county Puffin island

In the afternoon we went down to the harbour area where a speedy rubber boat was waiting for us. We got properly dressed for the occation and then settlend off to have a look at the birdlife in the area, specially on the huge mountain where thousands of puffins are nesting every year. We stopped first at some small islands where we enjoyed many different spices before we got to the puffin colony. Flying around the top of the mountain there were more than 30 huge seaeagles sailing around. The puffins were flying a little lower many together to distrub the eagles. Really facinating to see so many birds at the same time, and the puffins are so cute to look at too.
