"Puffin numbers at one of the UK's largest colonies have increased by a third
since 2017.

NatureScot and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) have completed a
count of burrows on the Isle of May National Nature Reserve (NNR) in the Firth
of Forth, a protected and internationally important habitat for seabirds.

Based on their all-island count this summer, scientists estimate there are some
52,000 occupied Puffin burrows, compared to 39,000 in the last survey in 2017 –
a 33% increase."
