Atlantic puffins on a cliff

---

A group of puffins ( Fratercula arctica ) at Mykines, Faroe Islands . The Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) is a seabird species in the auk family. Also known as the Common Puffin, it is the only puffin species which is found in the Atlantic Ocean. The curious appearance of the bird, with its large colourful bill and its striking piebald plumage, has given rise to nicknames such as '"clown of the ocean" and "sea rooster".
