Sweet little Puffin getting rained on.
Muddy Puffin doesn’t seem to understand that he cannot dry his wings while it’s still raining….
Look at his cute little butt! My favorite of the sheep.
Puffins, Puffins, more Puffins!
Puffins, Puffins, Puffins!
Puffins!
Food?

I’m not sure how Mr. Puffin managed to get so muddy…
I love all of his photos of these adorable creatures so I have to give you just one more!
We’re sick of the rain too little buddy.
More sheep
Happy little Puffins
