With Sympathy to Mundi the Puffin xxx

It's a sad day for all who followed and loved Mundi the Puffin. He was such a star and and inpiration, even having his own facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/MundiThePuffin/. He was perhaps the most famous and most photographed puffin in the world.
He was rescued in Iceland and taken in to a sanctuary after crashing and losing sight in both eyes. He could never return to the wild but enjoyed the comforts and luxuries of sanctuary and home living surrounded by loving people and friends.

I featured this little chap in 365 Days of Pets and wasn't going to repeat him in the monthly theme. But on hearing the sad news I had to give him another feature in the Birds of May. It is only fair and i hadn't the heart to paint anyone else <3

Peace be with you Mundi xxxx
