The Toughest Bird you think you know - The Puffin

That beak isn't just colourful. It glows. 🌊 Under ultraviolet light — which puffins can see and we can't — the yellow ridges of a puffin's bill light up in brilliant cyan-green. What looks vivid to us looks luminous to them. And that's just the start. The puffin dives to 60 metres, can carry 60 fish in a single bill-load, and sends its chick to the open ocean alone in the dark, guided only by starlight. The clown of the sea is also one of the most extraordinary birds in the North Atlantic. ! 🎙️#BIRDZ #Puffin #AtlanticPuffin #BritishBirds #UKWildlife #BirdwatchingUK #BritishWildlife #Seabirds #NaturePodcast #BirdsOfInstagram #WildlifeUK #UKNature #NatureLovers #BirdConservation #BritishNature #SeabirdConservation #PuffinLovers #NorthAtlantic #WildlifePhotography #CoastalWildlife
