Eight Puffins on Driftwood Block

This charming ornament features eight little painted metal Puffins with their characteristically bright coloured bills sitting on a natural driftwood block.

A group of Puffins is known as a Circus which is quite apt for a bird that’s often called the ‘clown of the sea’ with its unmistakable look.

Puffins spend their life at sea fishing for sand eels. They come ashore to breed in the spring on grass-topped cliffs, preferring old rabbit burrows.

Its colourful bill fades later in the year, after the breeding season. The new chicks “jump-fly” and scramble by night down from the cliffs on which they have bred.

Although each Puffin block follows the same design, there will be slight differences to the base due to the individual nature of the driftwood used.

A lovely finishing touch in any room setting.

Made of wood and metal.

Overall size: approx 15 x 7 x 6 cm tall
