The puffins have officially made their return to Tory Island.
As the breeding season arrives each year, typically between April and early August, the puffins establish their nests in Tory island’s cliffs, which offer safety alongside quick access to the sea for food.
The Atlantic puffin stands out with their colourful beak.
Wildlife photographer Anton Meenan was lucky to capture a glimpse of the island’s visitors:
