The Puffin
The development at Plémont is adjacent to important habitat for the southernmost colony of puffins in the British Isles.
No more than a dozen pairs of puffins tenaciously hold territories along one particular section of Jersey's north-west coast.
During a critically short summer breeding season, each female lays a single egg - one egg, one chick, one opportunity!
By August of each year, the parent birds, and their offspring, desert their nesting burrows and spend the entire winter far out at sea.
The puffin has, by far, one of the most precarious lifestyles of any British seabird.
