Puffins (Fratercula arctica) are only between 27-28cm in length, making them the size of a pint glass! They may be small seabirds, but they are tough. Puffins spend every winter out at sea, only returning to land in spring/summer to breed. Photo taken by Gemma Woodford.

Puffins (Fratercula arctica) are easily identifiable due to their black and white plumage, stocky build, and brightly coloured beaks. Once the breeding season is over, they have darker plumage around their faces and their beaks change from bright reds/orange to a duller brown/yellow. Photograph taken by Gemma Woodford.
