Their breeding and fledgling season span from May until September, after which the puffins leave for the open Atlantic ocean. Their nests rest at the end of approximately metre long burrowed tunnels. These tunnels riddle the ground where the puffins colonize on cliff faces, grassy islands and mountain ledges near the sea. Str: 148 mm 5,8 in.
