The brief

You would think that with a bird as iconic as the puffin, we would know how many of them we have in the UK and how successful a breeding colony is in any year.

Yet, of all the seabirds we are internationally responsible for, the puffin is one of the hardest to count because they breed in burrows underground.

Traditional methods are either extremely labour intensive, with specialised fieldworkers required for counts, or can only give us an indication of how many puffins there are on land or on sea.

It is also hard to tell how successfully they are managing to breed.
