After a week of installing cameras, we were very excited when the puffins returned to the puffincam burrow at 11.20am on 17th April. They have been in and out lining their nest since then, so keep a look out for an egg any day now! The camera has also revealed unexpected visitors to the burrow in the form of a mouse, a starling, a robin and a rabbit (not all at the same time, it's not the tardis burrow).

Being able to visit Sumburgh head by screen from any part of the world is pretty cool, but if you get the chance to come in person from mid May until mid August our friendly guides will be pleased to meet you between 11am - 4pm. Join them for talks on the history of the reserve and its wildlife at 11am, 12noon, 2.30pm and 3.30pm.
See you soon!
