***About Puffins:

*** The Atlantic Puffin, often fondly referred to as the "clown of the sea" due to its colorful beak and waddling gait, is a species native to the North Atlantic Ocean. Adapted superbly to life on the open sea, these birds are distinguished by their striking appearance and remarkable diving capabilities. Intriguingly, puffins use their wings to 'swim' underwater as they hunt for fish, while their waterproof feathers keep them insulated against the cold waters. Their breeding grounds, often seen on steep cliff sides like in this artwork, are vital for their survival, making such habitats crucial for their conservation efforts.
