PUFFIN // FRATERCULA ARTICA (29cm)
THE LARGEST colonies comprise thousands-in some cases tens of thousands of pairs as above on Skokholm Island, This may sound a lot, but it represents a fraction of the numbers thought to have been present a century or so ago. Reasons for the decline include overfishing and pollution of the marine environment.
======================
THANK YOU for your continued visits and comments, I expect you are fed up with puffins now, but I love them.
Stay safe and well, God bless .....................Tomx
