Atlantic Puffins Alca arctica gather outside their burrows to make communal fishing flights. Their short wings are specially adapted for ‘flying’ underwater to catch small fish such as sand eel and herring. Puffins are distinct in their ability to carry several fish at a time, crosswise in their bill, rather than regurgitating swallowed fish as most seabirds do. Puffins have been in a precipitous decline in the last decade due to marine pollution and the collapse of sand eel populations due to the rise in sea temperatures from global warming.
