Brief SummaryRead full entry DescriptionThe puffin is one of our
most well-loved and easily recognised birds. It has a comical
appearance, with its parrot-like, large colourful bill, red and
black markings around the eyes (3), large pale cheek patches and
bright orange legs (2). Young puffins lack the large colourful
beak (2). In winter, adults lose their bright bill, and both
adults and young have dark cheeks (3). A deep 'arrr-uh' noise is
produced, which can be heard emanating from puffin burrows (2).
