Burhou Island is 1.5 km off the coast of the channel island of Alderney. Burhou is a paradise for seabirds as there are no rats or cats and very little human disturbance on the island.
Puffin Cam is a way to observe these beautiful birds, in their natural habitat, as they go about their daily lives.
Watch out for Puffins leaving and entering their burrows, rafting in groups just off shore and, later in the season, bringing fish home for their growing chicks.
This project is in collaboration with The Wildlife Trusts and Alderney Wildlife Trust and has been made possible with support from Airtel-Vodafone, The States of Alderney,
South East Grid for Learning (SEGfL) and Sesys.

Sometimes the puffin colony looks deserted when all the adults are out at sea catching fish. However, most of the puffins can be seen outside their burrows at the end of the day. Why not check out the video clip highlights for this week.
