Puffin Webcam, Burhou Island

[Aussie Sue]

Hi, For those interested in the puffins.
There are the most puffins out gathering in groups I have ever seen at the moment. At least 50 or more

[Daisy]

Lovely to see so many of them running around. Thanks for the reminder Sue.

It must be 2:04 p.m. on Burhou right now. I can count 6 puffins which all just came out of their burrows and are walking around.

Chrissie,
What a pity you must have just missed the big gathering of puffins that Daisy and I saw about 1/2 hr before you.

[Chrissie777]

I'm not complaining, Sue, 6 puffins is a lot more than I usually am able to catch.
Often all I can see is sea gulls and the rare giant rabbit.

Lots of puffins again - at least 20-30. Must be one of the best years for puffins in the Channel Islands since the 1960s.

[Chrissie777]

That's how long you keep observing them, Francis?

Francis, even at twilight I can still count 7 active puffins right now.

Lots of puffin activity just now right in front of the camera. One puffin flew in with a fat beak full of fish and disappeared with it down his burrow. The puffin population seems to be on the increase.

Thanks, John!
Six puffins plus a gorgeous sunny evening view on Fort Clonque on Alderney in the distance towards the right side.

It's brilliant to see the puffins so active. I agree with Sue that the main camera is better located this year.

I used to count the puffins in the Sea of Adventure illustrations! That must have been in the 1950s.

Well at least they didn't move about! I hope you got the same total each time, Francis!
