It is also home to a colony of Shags, Owls, Perigrine Falcons, Cormorants, Choughs and of course the beautiful Puffin. The Puffins live undergound in burrows where they nest and bring up their young before flying off to sea. Here at The Wick one can get up close and personal with them. They fly off at regular intervals to dive for sand eels to feed their young. Puffin can dive to depths of up to 200 feet (60 metres) to feed.
