PUFFLING // FRATERCULA ARTICA.
PARENTS share incubation, they both feed the chick in its shallow burrow for about 40 days, then desert it. The chick stays in its burrow for seven to ten days, without food, as its plumage develops.It then makes its way to the sea by night to advoid hungry gulls. The young puffin does not return to the colony for two to three years, and does not breed until it is four to five years old. Seen at Skomer Island, South Wales.
