Reaching the Vantage point is a difficult work.
First, there is a jump across a fence in the scratching quarry – stone workers used to find it because there is a narrow space to work in that their background sides will collide with the rocky face. After that, through the slopes of the orchards of early spider fruit and wild cabbage before stunning to the edge of the cliff.
Hardy volunteers will make this spring trip, and the rain or sunlight comes, to try to solve the Purbeck Puffins.
This extension from the Coast of Dorst is the last well -known nesting site Puff On the mainland in southern England. In the fifties of the last century, there were about 80 birds that nest on this coast, but the number of husbands decreased to three and there were no final scenes from Fleedglings for years. If the trend is not reversed, the colony may fade within 15 years.
“It is extremely disturbing,” said Richard Caldo, a marine bird scientist, who has been watching birds since 2023.
The problem is that no one is completely sure of the desired intervention because it is unclear what is suffering from the pulp. “The ambiguity is the reason for their decline, but they were not completely extinct. I spent long hours sitting here in an attempt to get rid of it,” said Caldo.
The loud characteristics of the spot makes it difficult to monitor the pulp. The entrance to the site of only one visible is visible from the preference point, and the decisive spot is deep in the incision. The other two are bounded in the corner. When they leave the nest, Fleedglings tend to fade at night until you work if there is anything you should search for for fish shipments.
The fennel carried the fish to its nests for three weeks in 2023, but suddenly stopped, indicating that the tags suddenly died. Birds began to build nests in 2024, but she was not seen as any fish delivery, perhaps because their eggs failed to hatch.
Caldo said that monitoring of the pulp in Borbek, which brings fish require patience. “They are good to appear from nothing and disappear again,” he said.
This technique is to discover them as they approach the naked eye and then the peers through perspectives as it is near the abyss. He said: “It is easy to pay attention to the dolphin or the falcon that passes it.”
along with National trust and Dorset Wildlife TrustCaldo supervised the movement of the movement’s motion cameras in a narrow slit where the scourge lived.
The volunteers combed more than 70,000 pictures in search of evidence of the crisis, and possibly raids of mice or crows. But no predator was monitored and there were no other threads.
There are plans to return the cameras next year with better equipment. What volunteers from Forum Natural History in Burbek Watch this spring will reach this step. The boat operators were also asked to join by monitoring the nesting areas of the sea.

Putin’s first vision was in Borbick this year on March 20, a little late in the past two years. When the Guardian visited, one of them wandered in 200 meters (200 yards) to the sea.
Caldo passed by the possible reasons for decline. Peregrine and Herring Gulls are not from the top of the suspects list. “They have better and easier food sources elsewhere,” he said.
It is also believed that humans – boats, climbers and Coasteering groups – are clear. Most of them know avoiding the abyss and was from the industrial scene when it was extracted. Puff has not been postponed by humans who dig and detonate, so a few people will not bother them now.
Climate emergency can be a factor. Perkin may struggle to find enough food – but it seems that Razorbills that nest the site thrive.
Although they were not arrested on the camera, the main suspects of Caldow are crows, machines, mice and mice, which can press cracks.
While sitting on the abyss, he dreams of possible solutions – may complete the back and side entrances to the nesting site with concrete? But this will not decrease well along the World Heritage Coast. Building an artificial cliff face that predators could not reach? Very expensive.
Some of the same Pulp will return to the Borbik coast a year later. They can live for up to 30 years, and a regular person contains a distinctive gray back. But when they leave, they travel away and fear is that if one or two are caught in a bad winter storm, they may not return.
“It will not take much to push them over the edge,” said Caldo. “This may be the last salon for them.”
