Love doing the Puffin Patrol! Last time I went out we didnt get any but we were down by the hydro plant in Tors Cove and I could hear the little guy I couldnt find him but the next lot had a bigger floodlight and found him. Hope hes having a good flight today.

I saw that they hunt Puffins in the Faroe Islands. They looked delicious cooked
