The picture shows a puffin with its head above the grass, looking around nicely. The animal is looking to the right, where there is space in the photo. The photo is very green, due to the much grass, with the awesome bird sticking out.
The puffin has a beautiful orange-red bill and black and white plumage. The puffin is prominent in the image and is an absolute eye-catcher.
