Atlantic Puffins

Puffins spend most of their lives at sea, returning to coastal colonies in spring to breed.  Most numerous around Iceland and Norway, they also breed in Britain, especially on off-shore islands.  They are protected in Britain, where their numbers have declined in recent years, due to a decline in the small fish on which they feed, introduced predators and oil-spills.  The red and yellow covering of the bill is shed after breeding, leaving a smaller, black bill.
