Ghostrider Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Have no idea where this one is or who took it, very probably not Shetland. Stolen from Facebook, but it was too good to leave alone... http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/581234_306165146139843_1246786952_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 If I had taken that piccie and found you had stolen it from FB, I would be severely dischuffed with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I can see two adults in the burrow but no sign of the puffling - unless it's squashed right up at the back. Anyone seen it today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's dead, apparently attacked by other puffins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 ^ Not so sure, the puffin has many predators, among them bonxies, swabbies and whitrits and then the ongoing lack of feed leads to weak youngsters, so all in all a fair old battle for survival.

DizzyKipper Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Have no idea where this one is or who took it, very probably not Shetland. Stolen from Facebook, but it was too good to leave alone [PUFFIN PIC] I *think* it might have been one of the Countryfile photographic competition finalist photos. Ah no it isn't but it's virtually identical to it, called In-flight meal by Richard Steelhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/3179380/Annual-Countryfile-Photographic-Competition-finalists.html?image=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stilldellin Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Never mind, here is a pic to cheer us up, I call it " The Chiropodist " :- http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb479/beenister/sdchiropodist.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John D'oh Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Great Picture Stilldellin here's a report on what happened to the wee puffin http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/placestovisit/shetland/b/shetland-blog/archive/2012/07/20/puffincam-mysteries-and-revelations.aspx#.UAlu8aMi21s.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 http://pontu.eenet.ee/player/kalakotkas.html Cheers now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
