The awkward puffling







On our journey in the Farne Islands, we came across a lost puffling.  Normally, pufflings leave the nest at sunset, jumping from cliffs straight into the water. But this confused puffling left during the middle of the day, and found himself lost in the middle of the island.  But he got a little help from the bird researchers on the island who put a ring on his leg and helped him reach the sea.  It was a very awkward start, but once in the water he seemed just fine.
