Manny has company -- he is not the only decoy Puffin! In fact they used 100 of them off the cliffs on the Isle of Man in the UK.

Here is an information chart put together by chatter Puffin123 with the added data for 2019 breeding season! It is not totally complete but they are working on getting the missing data. It compares to previous years. :)

Thanks for sharing this Peep!  That's a lot of work getting all that data together, very nice. I would like to do one of these spreadsheets for GSB cam, I am still praying for Michelle to come home.  ;)

From chatter Puffin123:
"Usually the researchers are on the island late April - mid May, the cams will go online soon after, and Manny will be set up as well. Usually the puffins are on the island or just offshore by then."  :)

I have also heard that the puffins are back on the island before they turn the cams on and put Manny out. Maybe they want to see how they meet up with each other and get settled first. It is probably a little confusing as they try to find their mates.
