The annual puffin festival returns to the cliffs of Flamborough this weekend to celebrate and help protect the much loved bird.
Visitors will be able to enjoy a weekend full of activities and events and learn more about the species.
David Craven is the East Regional Manager for Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and he says that the festival gives people the perfect chance to see the puffins in their natural habitat.
The Yorkshire Puffin Festival, funded and supported by Yorkshire Coast BID, is packed full of fun, including:
- An exclusive online launch event with Hannah Rudd, marine scientist, shark specialist and author of ‘Britain’s Living Seas: Our Coastal Wildlife and How We Can Save It’;
- Boat trips by traditional fishing coble to discover the rugged coastline and spot some of our seabirds from a different angle;
- Peering at puffins from the clifftop with our expert volunteers as part of a guided walk;
- A magical guided walk at dusk when we’ll be hoping to spot the reserve’s resident barn owls;
- A beach clean – help us look after our marine wildlife as well as our puffins;
- Puffin-themed crafts making a sock puffin with Thread and Press;
- A puffin-themed drama workshop with Singing with Zoe;
- A Yorkshire Puffin Contest to find Yorkshire’s best puffin performer, with a prize for the best entry.
David Craven also says that the puffins bring thousands of people to the Yorkshire Coast every year.
Attendees at the festival can learn more about the work Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is doing to look after our puffins, as well as what they can do to help protect them.
