One of the cutest members of Britain’s migrant birds is the Puffin. They start to arrive in March and they leave by mid-August so now, while they are settled in their breeding colonies, is a good time to see them. They can be found in several spots around Britain. We have personally seen them on the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast and the Isles of Scilly.
I have to confess to eating Puffin, not here but in Iceland. It was very expensive, tasted quite horrible (sort of fishy, gamey taste) and left me feeling guilty!
