The 2025 puffin count is underway on the Farne Islands as conservationists from the National Trust aim to tot them up among 200,000 seabirds.
This year The National Trust marks its 100th year of caring for the internationally important sanctuary for the 200,000 seabirds that return each summer to breed.
This year’s count is vitally important given the islands’ three seasons of closure between 2020 until 2024’s count due to Covid-19 and then bird flu.
The 28 islands are a safe haven for the birds thanks to its location 1.5 miles off the coast of Northumberland. They provide the ideal habitats for 23 species of seabirds, as well as being an important stop-off point for a host of migratory birds from long eared owls to blue throats and ring ouzels.
During the winter it is also home to a significant colony of grey seals who return each year to pup.
Seabirds that make the annual migration to breed include cliff-nesting birds such as razorbills, guillemots and kittiwakes, ground nesting birds such as terns (Arctic, Common and Roseate) as well as the endangered puffins[3] who build burrows underground to lay their eggs and once hatched, to raise their ‘pufflings’.
Sophia Jackson, Area Ranger on the Farne Islands for the National Trust explains: “It appears that the increases in bird species aligns with the islands gaining increased environmental protections, firstly through designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1951 and as a Special Protected Area (SPA) in 1985.
“Significant milestones include numbers of breeding birds reaching 100,000 for the first time in 1987, with 200,000 individual seabirds returning recorded in 2005.
“Looking back on the records for the different populations it is very clear how important regular monitoring of the different seabird populations has been – despite different methodologies - for informing our co **

'A perfect storm': the dedicated rescuers caring for sodden seabirds blown in by Cyclone Alfred
Birdwatchers' thrill of seeing birds up close that usually spend their lives at sea is tempered by sadness and pity at the extent of injuries.
While seabirds are highly evolved to survive in extreme environments, cyclones cause mass casualties.
Unable to land or find food in the churning ocean, they become exhausted and quickly lose conditioning. Many are carried hundreds of kilometres inland, where they invariably perish. The lucky ones are found and taken into care.

They will often give you a wee nip’: rangers count puffins on Farne Islands
Annual survey is important for understanding health of the Atlantic puffin's breeding colonies.
'The one species everyone can identify is a puffin,' says zoologist Dr Richard Bevan. 'They are iconic, I think.'
it may well be one of the least hi-tech nature counts in the UK, and involves rangers sticking their arms blindly down a hole knowing there will be one of five outcomes: they will feel either a puffin egg, a puffling, excrement, nothing at all – or the annoyed reaction of a puffin as a giant hand suddenly enters its home.
