Puffins build their nest and hatch west of AndøyasteemCreated with Sketch.

Puffins (Fratercula arctica) is a small beautiful seabird. Many people think the puffins resembles a parrot with its colourful beak.

The puffin digs holes in the soil and prepares their nest and hatch inside these holes. Here they are protected from many of their enemies. The puffin often has to fly far out into the ocean to catch small fish that they feed their kid. When they are little fish to find, they usually happen that the puffin fails to feed its young. This has happened several times over the past years. We hope that the food supply will improve so that the puffin will be able to raise the next generation of its species.

it's your captured?look amazing.there has so many puffins,you are very lucky to watch that,near the our house has small puffin village.there are so many birds,The puffin nests in small colonies. The male uses his bill and feet to dig a nesting burrow on an ocean cliff or island. The nest is lined with grass. The nest may also be made in a rocky crevice. The female lays a single egg and both parents incubate the egg by tucking it under a wing and leaning against it. The egg hatches in about 40 days, and both parents feed the chick for another 40 days. The adult Atlantic puffin can carry as many as 30 small fish in its bill to feed to its chick. Male and female pairs may mate for more than one season.

The puffins is a species of small birds, with a brightly coloured beak during the breeding season, are the surface seabirds that feed primarily by scuba diving into the water, they are largely generated in colonies on coastal slopes or sea islands, nesting in cracks between rocks or in burrows p That soil

Thank for your additional information about the puffins @Michaeljack

Thanks for commenting about my pictures of the puffins @Simonblake

this bird feeds on at least 2000 fish and the food it consumes in twenty four hours equals the weight of its body
