THEME
Atlantic puffins are in decline across their global range, and are one of two species of seabirds nesting in Ireland found to be in decline. Diet is thought to play a key role in the species population ecology, though little is known about the diet of Irish puffin chicks.
Our talk will look at research which aims firstly to assess the feasibility of using digital photography to survey puffin chicks diet at multiple Irish colonies, and secondly to investigate inter-colony variation in puffin chick diet.
