A webcam has been installed inside a custom-made puffin burrow on a Northumberland island offering a glimpse into the nest of two parent birds.
Coquet Island, referred to as RSPB's "certified seabird sanctuary" is half a mile from the village of Amble off the Northumberland Coast and as many as 35,000 seabirds cram onto the tiny island to breed. Though there's a lighthouse on it, the public are not permitted to step foot onto it.
Currently, there are four live cameras switched on to allow for the surveillance of the birds. Those watching can expect to catch a chick hatching from the egg that the parents laid on April 25, which they regularly take turns to sit on.
