The Scottish Seabird Centre is a world leader in remote wildlife viewing. The webcam images you are watching are transmitted live, direct from the Seabird Centre’s cameras, which are located on the islands of the Firth of Forth and controlled by visitors at the Centre. The live images refresh every 5-10 seconds.
We're delighted to say that the puffin burrows were occupied during the nesting season (April-July) last year, thanks to the efforts of SOS Puffin, a five year project to reinstate the puffins on Craigleith, managed by the Scottish Seabird Centre and funded by Viridor Credits. Following a massive team effort this year again by 150 volunteers during winter, the puffins are again making a return to the island to rear their pufflings.
With funding from Viridor Credits, the Seabird Centre set up SOS Puffin in January 2007, to save the Craigleith puffins from extinction. The SOS Puffin team of over 100 volunteers works throughout the year (outwith the breeding season), carefully clearing areas of tree mallow. The Seabird Centre is an independent charity and all donations and sponsorships are reinvested into its education and conservation programmes. To find out more about the campaign, go to SOS Puffin. You can also click here to Adopt a Puffin online which will help support the charity.
