This is a normal post I think all i can see are gannets and pigeons
has the National Trust stooped to the level of a shoddy Santa Claus Land?

correction, not gannets but guillemots

This is a normal post Penguins and puffins now
Lots of penguins. It looks like a long way down to the sea too!

or anywhere in the Northen hemisphere in the wild.

They'll be guillemots.

This is a normal post Well...
Only if you exclude the Galapagos penguins. Which seems unfair.

This is a normal post I think your penguins are guillemots but at least there are now some puffins on the go.
Odd seeing the puffins next to pigeons, I'd always thought they'd have been bigger.

This is a normal post Went to see puffins on the Isle of May a few years ago.
It was past the peak time, but there were still a few about.

Also ran into TV's Natasha Raskin-Sharp, and pointed her cameraman/partner/whatever in the right direction to one that had just landed. I haven't seen her do a programme about puffins on the telly, so maybe she was just on a jolly with licence fee payers' money.

This is a normal post Natasha lives in a hole on the isle, she has a flock of pufflings that bring her sand eels to subsist on while she rests between television appearances
