Description
Puffins are one of our most iconic bird species, instantly recognisable with their distinctive bills and comical gait. But what happens when they take to the air? Contrary to their clumsy appearance, puffins are agile flyers, while underwater they use short wings to propel themselves through the water in pursuit of small fish.
Until recently, surprisingly little was known about puffin ecology due to their remote breeding habitats on islands and hard-to-reach coastlines. Euan Dunn's book sheds new light on these birds, revealing their life cycle, behaviour, breeding habits, diet, social interactions, and migration patterns. He also highlights the mounting threats they face and offers advice on where to spot them.
Each RSPB Spotlight title is designed to introduce readers to the lives of our favourite birds and mammals. This book provides a revealing account of puffin ecology, making it an ideal choice for anyone interested in learning more about these charismatic creatures.
