    yes, the first one is the puffin and unfortunately I lost the colourful sheath that goes over the bill. I think it went a bit soft because I bleached that skull due to it smelling rank because my mate left it in my cellar and didn't tell me it was there! The others have been bleached by the sun or were clean when I found them.

    out on a navigation course over the weekend we saw a stoat. then tonight there's been an big Owl perched on the neigbours roof. not a barn owl, brownish but big. no prominant ears? My guess would be a tawny.
