A puffin on the Isle of Muck nature reserve in Co Antrim. Photograph: Ronald Surgenor/PA WirePuffins have been found nesting on a Co Antrim nature reserve for the first time in 25 years. The discovery was made by Ulster Wildlife on the Isle of Muck, off Islandmagee, and is seen as a big milestone in the recovery of the vulnerable seabirds in Northern Ireland. Two puffins were captured on camera coming out of a nesting burrow on grassy cliff ledges on the Isle of Muck this summer. The Isle of Muck nature reserve is not accessible to the public, and crossing the tidal tombolo when it becomes visible at low tide is extremely dangerous, Ulster Wildlife said.
