The north Atlantic 'Puffin Census' commenced this week on the Farne Islands, off the Northumberland coast in eastern England.   Numbers have been dropping seriously for the last few years and global warming is being cited as the cause.   Meanwhile eight to ten million (60%) of the world's entire Atlantic puffin population thrives in and around Iceland.
