Towards the end of the season in late July, viewers may spot young pufflings when they fledge the nest. The second webcam will cover the rugged cliffs where puffins, guillemots, razorbills, shags, and various species of gull typically gather. Viewers can spot birds coming and going to feed their young, including birds of prey such as the peregrine falcon and merlin. It is also an important stop-off point for migratory birds from long eared owls to blue throats and ring ouzels. However, species like shags and terns saw large losses, primarily due to winter storms and bird flu.
