The Common Puffin (Fratercula arctica) is a seabird known for its colorful beak and distinctive appearance. It typically measures about 28 centimeters in length and has a wingspan of around 60 centimeters. Puffins are excellent swimmers, using their wings to propel themselves underwater while hunting for fish, their primary food source. These birds are found in the North Atlantic, nesting on coastal cliffs and islands. During the breeding season, they create burrows to lay their eggs. After the chicks fledge, puffins spend most of their time at sea, returning to land only for breeding. Their striking appearance makes them a popular subject in wildlife photography and conservation efforts.
