The 'Puffin Census' commenced this week on the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast of north-eastern England.   Numbers on puffins on these islands have been plummeting for the the last few years and it is thought that global warming is the cause.   North Atlantic Puffins are found primarily in and around Iceland where they number in the millions.
