It seems odd that Puffins are still bringing in nest material but it has been warm and it could be the mites may have taken over in the nest area so a change of bedding may help
Also the latrine area may need changing, either way its just the adults looking after the young Pufflings
They will be leaving early next month but for now there are lots of Puffins on the cliff tops
While there has been one or two bird corpses on the beaches this may be down to predation rather than Bird Flu
It looks like a successful breeding season again with many birds bringing in lots of fish which seem abundant this year.
Puffins along with other auks need a break, this looks like the third year on the trot that they seem to have been successful.
