I do research on PINWR, and last Saturday we saw one puffin on the SW side of the island. Several weeks ago we had a high number of 10 puffins; they tend to hang out on the WNW side of the island. They should be sitting on eggs at this point ("my" guillemots are) so you may only see one or two individuals.
