The puffin is one of Iceland’s biggest wildlife draws. They arrive by the million for the breeding season between April and August, and nest on coastal cliffs all around the country in massive colonies.
To say that they arrive in the million is no understatement – we literally spent days shooting puffin photography, though we did occasionally allow them to break for lunch!
Head to Tjörnes for the best site to spot puffins in Iceland.
Iceland puffin caught on camera during lunch.

This just renewed my “I really need to get to Iceland, asap” vibe.
Such a wonderful photo!!
One day, be in one year or ten years, I will go to Iceland. This photo is fantastic and I’m glad that the days of photographing these birds paid off with this spectacular shot.
Ah, what an amazing photo! I love the colours. Hoping to spot some puffins when I visit Iceland this year!
