Eddie, it's still stating the same when I check it. Now it's turned off for the rest of the year. In April they'll turn it back on. You'll see.

There can only be one thing worse than watching a live streaming of an island inhabited by puffins. That is, the same island after the puffins have left. :|

Last time I looked there was one large rabbit - king of the castle. No puffins or gulls!

It must have been the same giant rabbit which I've watched last week, before they turned off their web cam, Daisy.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

The webcam is back online and the giant rabbit looks to have got even bigger! Puffins normally return to shore in April so we should be able to watch them soon. :D
