A puffin (Fratercula arctica) swims underwater. Puffins spend most of their lives at sea and are excellent underwater swimmers, which is how they catch small fish, their main food. They swimming is rather robotic to watch, with discret flaps of their wings and jerky changes in direction. As they swim bubbles come out of their feathers leave behind them a trail of where they have been. Photographed in July 2011, Farne Islands, Northumberland. England, UK. North Sea.
