Puffins typically eat several times a day, depending on the availability of food. They primarily feed on fish, such as herring and sand eels, and can consume around 10-20 fish in a single foraging trip. Puffins dive underwater to catch their prey and often store multiple fish in their beaks at once while returning to their nesting sites. Their feeding habits can vary based on the breeding season and food availability.
