Fratercula Arctica

Puffin on Lundy

This extraordinarily tame puffin came home with us after our first visit to Lundy Island, and has resided in our living room ever since.

Lundy means Puffin in old Norse. There were 3000 pairs of Puffins on Lundy in the 1930’s. Due to foraging rats and also a decline in the sand eels upon which they feed, there has been a sharp decline in recent times. There are now less than ten breeding pairs left on the island.

About

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote a sea kayaking guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. I have used this blog to keep folk updated as to my progress and to reveal some of the wonderful scenery, culture and wildlife of this little corner of England.
