Puffin in the Campion

From £32.00

A puffin stands framed by sea campion in full bloom, the white flowers softening what's usually a bare, muddy colony. The campion flowers through May and June, right in step with the puffins' own breeding season.

About the Atlantic Puffin

Atlantic puffins spend most of the year far out at sea, only coming ashore to breed in dense cliff-top and island colonies each spring and early summer. The Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast hold one of the UK's largest colonies, with tens of thousands of pairs nesting in rabbit burrows and rock crevices; an adult can carry a dozen or more sand eels at once, wedged crosswise in that famously colourful bill.
