Dancing Ledge, Swanage - Weekend 16/17 June 2007

[Andre]

Just in case you are thinking where to go during that weekend then there will be a rare opportunity to see puffins on Dancing Ledge. I understand that the puffins come each year, have their little ones and head back to sea

Pending weather conditions we are heading for the Dancing Ledge on Saturday 16 June

Anyone else going?

Andre

Great idea Count me in.

Went down to Dancing Ledge a week or three ago but it was too early for them then. I've heard its one of the few occasions to see them on land.

I'm not an expert on Puffins. But do these birds just pop over for a weekend, drop their sprogs and then leg it ! I though birds had to sit on eggs to hatch them.

I ask this as I would like to see them also but don't have those particular two days off. I would have thought one of the parents had to hang around and hatch the eggs.

Any Puffin experts out their ?

We will be leaving Chichester Marina about 9/9:30 on the saturday and heading towards the Dancing Ledge. Probably stopping off at Yarmouth for a short while
