    The world's largest puffin colony with over 800,000 breeding pairs are here from April to August.

      Nice place to see puffins. There is a sheltered hut with viewing windows.

        Here you should be able to see a puffin colony, but we did not succeed. You can only see something with binoculars or a good camera. The cell phone has too little power to zoom. In addition, the puffies hide in small caves in the rock and only come out and fly around for a short time. Some want to sit directly under the refuge. I don't think we saw any.
