Bird lovers flock to the sights and sounds of annual puffin migration

HUNDREDS of bird lovers are flocking to Rathlin island off Co Antrim for the annual puffin show.

“We’ve had a lot of visitors coming along in the last few days,” said Liam McFaul, a warden with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).

“We’re averaging about 200 people a day at the minute. It’s such a spectacular sight, you don’t need to be a bird watcher to appreciate what’s happening.”
