You can now watch the puffins on Burhou again, live via Puffin Cam . As well as the usual main and close up cameras, this year the Alderney Wildlife Trust have added Colony Camera which is capable of rotating for views across the island and zooming in on breeding sites or on the birds rafting on the water.

Every day at 4pm viewers can tune in to a tour of the puffin colony and Burhou on Colony Cam, as it pans across the island and zooms in on key wildlife areas.

Later in the season there will be even more ways to learn about and see the puffins in action - recorded tours, with a voice over from our Ramsar Officer explaining what the cameras are showing as they move around and talking about what any puffins might be doing if any are in the shot.
Finally, you can also follow our regular blogs, detailing the puffin breeding cycle and behaviours to look out for (for example, when the birds might be laying their eggs or when they might start bringing back fish for their chicks) on the website.

The Atlantic Puffin is currently listed as an endangered species in Europe by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with rapid population declines likely due to threats including human disturbance, climate change and pollution. The AWT Puffin Cam will lead to increased awareness of the puffins as viewers virtually bring the birds into their homes, leaning  more about them, their behaviours and ways we can all help conserve this species.

The cameras are generously supported by Sure and Streamdays, enabling the AWT to provide the clearest picture of the colony.
