Great Picture Stilldellin

here's a report on what happened to the wee puffin

http://www.rspb.org.uk/communi.....s.facebook

Bottom line is it was not developing as it should due to unsufficient food and also got attacked (not clear by whom or why) and then died...

I am happy the little ospreys I follow on another webcam are in good shape, they should soon fly

^ nice one Longdog and some cracking shots on your blog, glad the puffins were out and about as they have a habit of disappearing in the first week or so.

[Longdog]

Lets hope that Shetland Puffins were not in the large numbers of dead ones found in Aberdeenshire the other week

Been down to Sumbrough today, hardly a Puffin to be seen (18.00), unless they are all in burrows, lovely evening though.
