Unfortunately I found the remains of an (Atlantic) Puffin today, not far from SCP. On the back of quite a few washed up birds found around the Island's coast and beyond: thought to be a consequence of the recent stormy conditions. IOW Puffin sightings are usually during spring with the odd one or two seen passing by St Cath's/Ventnor etc.
Heartbreaking: Right now, thousands of Puffins are washing up along our coasts and further afield. It is devastating to see. These birds are Red-listed in the UK and already under serious pressure. Mass deaths like this, known as a “seabird wreck”, can take years for colonies to recover from...
