They will often give you a wee nip’: rangers count puffins on Farne Islands
Annual survey is important for understanding health of the Atlantic puffin's breeding colonies.
'The one species everyone can identify is a puffin,' says zoologist Dr Richard Bevan. 'They are iconic, I think.'
it may well be one of the least hi-tech nature counts in the UK, and involves rangers sticking their arms blindly down a hole knowing there will be one of five outcomes: they will feel either a puffin egg, a puffling, excrement, nothing at all – or the annoyed reaction of a puffin as a giant hand suddenly enters its home.

Puffin perches on a camera
Puffin sitting on a camera, Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire, Wales - 25 Jun 2017
This cheeky puffin is supposed to be the focus of photographer's cameras but it would appear that it would rather be the one behind the lens! The little bird decided that this camera made the perfect perch after a photographer placed it down for a moment. With his fellow snapper's equipment out of action Drew Buckley managed to capture the humorous moment. The charismatic puffins that call Skomer Island home during the summer as a big draw for animals fans and photographers alike. Home to one of the most important puffin colonies in the country, Skomer is a birdwatcher's dream. The two mile by 1.5 mile island lies just off the Pembrokeshire coast. It boasts sheltered bays, exposed headlands, towering offshore rocks and shaded inlets - perfect for the birds that flock there in huge numbers each year.

Puffin
Puffin has eels stolen by gull, Farne Islands, Northumberland, UK - 21 Jun 2016
This is the moment a black-backed gull showed that it was no bird brain - by stealing a puffin's dinner! Rather than go through the tough work of catching its own food the sneaky gull simply waited for the puffin to catch its fill before pouncing. The moment was caught on camera on the Farne Islands by photographer Will Nicholls. He says: "The Farne Islands is a paradise for seabirds and I have visited every year for 7 years. Occasionally, you'll see a gull swoop down and chase a puffin into its burrow that has returned with a beak full of fish to feed its young. Sometimes, the gulls manage to steal the fish from the puffin, something known as kleptoparasitism. I spotted a commotion on the island, with a lesser black-backed gull running along at full speed after a panicked puffin, searching for its burrow for safety. In seconds, the gull pinned down the puffin and snatched the sand eels straight from the puffin. The Puffin was totally unharmed, perhaps just with his pride knocked a little".

Puffin has eels stolen by gull, Farne Islands, Northumberland, UK - 21 Jun 2016
This is the moment a black-backed gull showed that it was no bird brain - by stealing a puffin's dinner! Rather than go through the tough work of catching its own food the sneaky gull simply waited for the puffin to catch its fill before pouncing. The moment was caught on camera on the Farne Islands by photographer Will Nicholls. He says: "The Farne Islands is a paradise for seabirds and I have visited every year for 7 years. Occasionally, you'll see a gull swoop down and chase a puffin into its burrow that has returned with a beak full of fish to feed its young. Sometimes, the gulls manage to steal the fish from the puffin, something known as kleptoparasitism. I spotted a commotion on the island, with a lesser black-backed gull running along at full speed after a panicked puffin, searching for its burrow for safety. In seconds, the gull pinned down the puffin and snatched the sand eels straight from the puffin. The Puffin was totally unharmed, perhaps just with his pride knocked a little".

Award winning landscape and wildlife photographer Drew Buckley recently spent three nights on the enigmatic island of Skomer off the Pembrokeshire coastline. The main draw to this small corner of Welsh paradise in summertime are the charismatic Puffins. Drew comments: "These quirky small dumpy sea birds are full of character and it's hard not to be drawn in to their own little world. "The iconic views of them standing with lots of sand eels held in their beaks are abundant at this time of year as they're busy feeding young. "Also, they're not afraid of humans as there's no ground predators on the island so happily walk past your feet allowing some fabulous up close and personal views".

This pair of puffins appear far from peaceful as they are caught squabbling. Photographer Drew Buckley caught the moment the irritated birds flapped their wings and clashed beaks with one another. Elsewhere he photographed rather calmer birds going about their daily life on Skomer Island in Pembrokeshire. Home to one of the most important puffin colonies in the country, Skomer Island is a birdwatchers dream. The two mile by 1.5 mile island lies just of the Pembrokeshire coast. It boasts sheltered bays, exposed headlands, towering offshore rocks and shaded inlets - perfect for the birds that flock their in huge numbers each year.
