Weak and underweight puffins have washed up on beaches in the Roseland, Falmouth and Penzance.

Puffins exhausted from the recent storms have been washing up on beaches along Cornwall’s south coast.

Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s Marine Strandings Network said 14 puffins have been found already in February, compared to two in the whole of 2025 and 15 in 2024.

The weakened - and in some cases dead - puffins have been found on beaches in the Roseland peninsula, Falmouth, Penzance, the Lizard and Porthleven.
