Can see two adults in the burrow, but no sign of the peerie een!!
Hi Lunklet welcome to the forums Wendy has been monitoring the cam have a look here www.rspb.org.uk/.../562609.aspx

My photos are on Flickr and Website
Hi Lunklet - 9.08 this morning............
but am watching nest closely as both adults are there and currently blocking puffling from view
My photos here (eventually)
They were very restless a little earlier, pulling the nesting material apart as if they were looking for something - still can't see the puffling unless he/she is right at the back, but not sure how far back the burrow goes.
Hi Lunklet - have just got back in & looked at puffincam and it surely looks a mess from when I looked earlier - have phoned North Scotland Office - no-one available at present so have left message on ansaphone asking someone to have a look - their cams may be better positioned - all I can do for now - I am so far away!
Further investigations to contact Helen Moncrieff revealed there has been an incident - don't know details - footage is being checked as is the nest and Helen will post later on blog
Hello Lunklet - just had my call returned from RSPB and they said the chick had died at around 12 noon today - no further details - sorry to be bearer of bad news - Helen Moncrieff will update blog any time now
That's sad news Wendy, with these webcams it's showing us just how much a hard life they all lead.
don't know if you read the blog doggie but it seems as if other puffins may have attacked it - apparently people all over the world were watching and RSPB are piecing it all together so more will be revealed later. Yes - very sad - I watched it from when it was an egg and I was a real newbie!!!
No i've not read the blog Wendy, just a thought why not put a link in the thread.
At the beginning of the nesting season we had a lot of people watching Blue Tits dying in the camera boxes and were pretty distressed.
basically 'cos I don't know how to do it!! as per usual
go to the blog highlight the address right click on it click copy then just paste it in the reply box
I've just joined the RSPB in honour of that tiny little flame of puffin life that was snuffed out today. I haven't stopped crying yet. The poor parents.
So sorry for your loss. If you are interested, there is another puffin cam from Seal Island, Maine: explore.org I have been watching 'Petey' the puffling for some time now, and can't imagine if anything would happen to him. Again, so sorry for your loss of the wee one.
Must be particularly 'thick' tonight doggie - just can't see an address that I can highlight - where - who - how ??
