Puffin Watch
The great sandstone cliffs at Dunnet Head are now around 75 metres high and this young lady is on the wrong side of the fence above an almost sheer drop, obviously a good head for heights, but perhaps the sight of a puffin is worth the risk,
Other residents of this most northerly point on the British mainland include guillemots, fulmars, razorbills and kittiwakes.

Large view recommended

Not far from the sight too of my first puffin photo captures too (Duncansby Head). I can understand the 'why' she is there but as you say, somewhat dangerous and nerve-racking too for the passing camera toting strangers. Great capture here from yourself. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

She's young; she's brave; she believes she's immortal. I wish I were all three, I'm not but I'm glad she is. She'll have enjoyed every moment (and would probably enjoy all the comments here whilst she shrugged her shoulders at the thoughts of the old folk). A grand picture.

A belated HFF, Roger.

It scares me when I see people doing this Roger. I am not good with heights and I cannot watch other people taking chances. I'm sure she was okay, but to me it's not worth it just to get a little closer. After all, you got the best shot ;-))
