Description

You can cruise around Puffin Island by joining a boat cruise from Beaumaris. See the website below and follow the link. Landing is not allowed due to danger of rat stowaways coming ashore, these once wiped out the Macareux moine which are now returning. The only breeding Eider à duvet in Wales. Also Mouette tridactyle, Fulmar boréal, shearwaters, skuas, sea ducks and auks may be seen offshore. Mammals: grey seals, dolphins and porpoises.

Note: As with all seabirds outside of the breeding season they are only found out at sea, so you will not see Macareux moine on these cruises outside of the breeding season.
