Summer visitor from March to September mainly along the west coast of Ireland but also locally on the east coast and some islands. They live off small fish such as herring, hake and sand eels. They can also “fly” underwater. Using their webbed feet as a rudder, puffins can dive down 60m in search of food. They live for around 20 years. The main threats are overfishing, pollution and climate change which is altering the feeding habitats of their prey species.
