On the cliffs of Westfjords in Iceland. Very interesting bird with respect to face and bill. I saw this behavior several times. This is a member of the Auk family which includes Puffins. Wish I was able to get a clear shot but I didn’t wish to fall off the cliff.

Awesome capture! Is the bird making a call? He does look happy! Like he’s throwing his head back with a laugh! I like the blurred grasses in the foreground, I think it looks nice.
Excellent facial detail and pose.
Well done! Interesting bird in an interesting pose, well framed by the grasses.
The tour didn’t provide a hang glider to get the shot you wanted? How cheap! Superb detail and I love the pose.
