Maybe there'll soon be baby giant rabbits??

I've actually seen two puffins! I saw the rabbits earlier.

Would be nice

.
We have some wild rabbits in our garden living under the garden house, but Cody hasn't caught any so far this year (he caught one last year

).

I'm checking the puffin cam for ca. 4 days now, but haven't seen any puffins close up, only far away.

I just glimpsed a rabbit on the close-up cam and there was some kind of large seabird (not a puffin!) on the rocks in the distance, but I'm not sure what it was. Probably not a Great Auk...

Of course it's a Great Auk!

No, unfortunately it didn't have enough black on its back — only the wings — and the neck was too long. I thought it might be a black-backed gull at first, until it stretched its neck up and I could see it looked the wrong shape for a gull as well. But it was very far in the distance and I really couldn't make out any identifying details. I could figure it out if I were in Australia, but I'm not so good on seabirds of the English Channel...

The puffins I saw were rather far away from the camera, but they were definitely puffins. No Auks, great or small!

For a change it's an overcast day on Burhou and Alderney. The two giant rabbits are running around right now.

I see the bluebells are out on the island. Not high enough to hide the giant rabbit though, he gets bigger and bigger.

John, four rabbits are on the PuffCam right now.
