Gap 37
We weren’t the only ones to wonder why
this might be happening.
From this moment on, we know remarkably little about where these birds end up and what could possibly be affecting them there.
But we should also take into account that
if a young puffin survives the winter, it will come back the following July.
Other devices will also hopefully tell us
how much time puffins spend diving for
food.
This was further evidence that something
unusual is happening at sea before they
return to the colony.
Puffins are always among the earliest
seabirds to lay eggs.
Last year there was an additional task.
