LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL & MANX SHEARWATER !
MANX SHEARWATER HORROR !!
MORE PUFFIN FACTS !
Puffins are in sharp decline, but not at Skomer, because they only have Gulls as predictors, no rats, mice, fox, or Stoats or weasels.
Pufflets need three feeds per day, and the Gulls will stand in front of their holes, as seen above, and try to get the adult Puffin to drop its hard won sand ells. And if a young chick
ventures near the hole entrance, like this Manx chick, while parents are fishing, this is want happens, not a pretty sight, as other gulls try to get this very young one, as it gets torn to bits.
A visit to a Lesser Black-Backed Gull colony, such as Skomer Island is a memorable experience!
