Ireland is lucky enough to be home to puffins, some of the most distinctive – and let’s face it, adorable – birds throughout all of Europe. While there are three types of puffins in the world, in Ireland we are home to perhaps the most iconic species, the Atlantic Puffins. These seabirds look peculiar, like a cross between a penguin and some sort of tropical parrot or toucan. But although they resemble adorable children’s toys, puffins are actually wonderful seabirds, built to survive in harsh conditions, travel long distances, and expertly hunt fish in the open ocean. #discoverireland #europediaries #travellover ⁣#traveltheworld #lovetotravel #globelletravels ⁣#workandtravel ⁣#tourismireland ⁣#travel ⁣#naturephotography ⁣#bestofireland ⁣#discoverireland ⁣#travelireland ⁣#failteireland ⁣#visitireland ⁣#loveireland ⁣#igersireland ⁣#ireland_gram ⁣#ireland_insta #ireland #cliffs #europetravel #ireland #atlantic #puffin #biodiversity #nature #birds #birdwatching #atlanticocean #atlanticpuffin
