Hi all, Puffins declines are also being studied in the UK. Amongst others, I know Alderney Wildlife Trust ( http://www.alderneywildlife.org/ ) have been doing work on their local puffin colony since at least 2005 and in addition to the conservation research work they have set up live puffins cams as part of a cross-curricular education project with school partners http://burhou.livingislands.co.uk/
And CEH have long-term monitoring on the Isle of May in Scotland http://www.ceh.ac.uk/news/news_archive/puffin_isle_of_may_count_2013_37.html Ali -- Ali Birkett PhD Student Insect Community Ecology Group [email protected] @thatali_ecol Office B31a LEC I Lancaster Environment Centre Lancaster University LA1 4YQ ________________________________________ From: Ecological Society of America: grants, jobs, news [[email protected]] on behalf of Mike Nolan [[email protected]] Sent: 29 May 2014 07:19 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ECOLOG-L] puffin problems....moe on Puffin Issue and Farley Mowat....
