FOREVER

Atlantic puffins are spending most of their time somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Only once a year they come back to land for around four months with the intention to breed. They are monogamous birds and often return to the same burrow with the same mate, year after year. Even parental duties like incubation are shared equally between the couple. One of the ways to maintain their strong bond, is to rub their beaks together. When we saw these two puffins, we just had to capture this special connection.

Whatever there’s happening, they will stand together until their chick is old enough to fend for itself. And then they will depart again, each for himself, until they come back again after a year.
