PUFFINS are off…..(any day)
Last chance to see our local puffins before they head off to sea. Our puffins migrate to the open ocean of the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay.
We saw a few ‘circus’ of puffins’ this morning and we have space on the puffin trip at 08:45 tomorrow.
The conditions are perfect so go for it.
