Ah, thank you about the photo! Once you realise how common the puffins are on Skomer Isle in Wales and just how unafraid of humans they are (not tame, just on a protected island and so not at threat from us), you would not think it so unusual to be able to take photos like that, however!
I think I can see the "cramming too much into a drabble" thing.I recently came across a podcast novel that was also a drabble novel in that he podcast what he wrote and he had written the whole novel as a sequence of drabbles. It was fascinating to listen to as a sometime writer and also had a lovely rhythm to it to "read". The author's name is Jake Bible, in case you want to look it up. Maybe that is something that you might find more comfortable to write - a short story of drabbles or a novella of drabbles? Personally I am best at writing back cover copy than whole novels or short stories. I get a plot idea and seem unable to write much more than a drabble or two before the muse and spoons disappear.
