Podcasts about puffins

This week on The Netmums Podcast, Louise Burke and JB Gill are joined by TV presenter, podcaster and ADHD UK ambassador Sam Thompson for an honest conversation about ADHD and autism, and why understanding our children matters more than ever.Sam was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 30 after years of feeling different, overwhelmed and misunderstood. In this episode, he opens up about the relief of finally understanding how his brain works, why he spent years believing he was simply the ‘naughty kid', and how that diagnosis helped him forgive himself for struggles he'd carried since childhood.Drawing on insights from his new book, You, Me and ADHD, Sam shares practical advice for parents navigating ADHD at home, from handling big emotions and meltdowns to helping children recognise their strengths and build confidence.Together, Louise, JB and Sam explore how ADHD can show up in everyday family life, why behaviour is often communication, and how parents can move from frustration to understanding.In this episode: The hidden impact of labels like ‘naughty', ‘lazy' and ‘disruptive' What ADHD actually looks like beyond the stereotypes How to support children through overwhelm, meltdowns and big feelings Why understanding emotions is often more important than managing behaviour The surprising strengths and talents that can come with ADHD Practical ways to help neurodivergent children thrive at home and at school Why ADHD isn't something to fix – it's something to understand Whether you're parenting a child with ADHD, supporting a neurodivergent family member, or simply want to better understand the children in your life, this is a warm, reassuring and incredibly helpful conversation packed with practical takeaways.Sam's book, You, Me & ADHD is out now, £9.99 (Puffin books)Read more expert advice at Netmums.com and join the conversation on social @Netmums.JB and Louise also want to hear your parenting stories, questions and dilemmas.

Before my open heart surgery, I realized something very important. You can't always control the situation, but you can control how you prepare mentally for it.There were definitely moments of fear, uncertainty, and a lot of unknowns. What helped me most was going back to the same mindset tools I've taught athletes, executives, and teams for years.The first thing I focused on was deep breathing. Slowing my breathing down helped calm my body and clear my mind when things started speeding up emotionally.Visualization also became important. I kept picturing myself getting through surgery successfully, recovering, and getting back to the people and moments I love most. I thought about sitting at home with my dog Puffins, enjoying the simple things we often take for granted.Meditation helped me stay present. Instead of thinking too far ahead or getting lost in fear, I focused on one moment at a time, one breath at a time.Positive self talk mattered too. I reminded myself that fear is normal, but belief still matters. I kept telling myself to trust the process, trust the people helping me, and trust my mindset.Most importantly, I leaned into gratitude. I thought about family, relationships, purpose, and all the things still worth fighting for. That mindset helped carry me through some very difficult moments.These tools did not remove the challenge, but they helped me face it with more calm, clarity, and strength.Discover the limitless potential of The Healthy Mindset Application (App) with our exclusive Application Assess, Educate, Coach approach.

Skellig Michael rises straight out of the Atlantic, jagged and dramatic, and according to archaeologist Neil Jackman, it's every bit as challenging as it looks. Visiting this remote Kerry island can be an extraordinary experience – but only if travelers understand what's involved before they try. Visiting Skellig Michael: What Travelers Need to Know Clochans on Skellig MichaelImage provided by Tuatha; used with permission This article is based on podcast episode 325 featuring archaeologist Neil Jackman, director of Abarta Heritage and Tuatha. Neil is a returning guest – listen to his episode about Ireland's Ancient East.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Where the Skellig Islands Are and Why They're So Unforgettable The Skellig Islands sit about 12 kilometers (8 miles) off the coast of County Kerry, beyond the Skellig Ring. Skellig Michael is the larger of the two, shaped like a steep stone pyramid rising from the ocean. From viewpoints along the Ring of Kerry, it's striking – but being out on the water brings its scale and isolation into sharp focus. Neil describes it as a place that doesn't quite belong to the modern world, and that sense of otherworldliness is part of what makes the islands so compelling. The Monastery at the Edge of the Atlantic Skellig Michael's fame isn't just about scenery. The island is home to an early medieval monastery, likely founded in the 7th century by monks seeking complete isolation for spiritual devotion. With no deserts in Ireland, remote Atlantic islands became places of withdrawal and focus. The monastery complex includes: Dry-stone beehive huts (clocháns) Oratories and outdoor altars A burial area and stone crosses Ingenious rainwater collection systems All of it was built without mortar, relying entirely on carefully balanced stone. The site later endured Viking raids, was rededicated to St. Michael the Archangel, and eventually abandoned as a permanent settlement—though it never lost its importance as a place of pilgrimage. Little Skellig: The Island You Can't Visit Beside Skellig Michael is Little Skellig, dramatically steeper and even more inhospitable. Today it's a protected bird sanctuary, home to tens of thousands of gannets, and landing is not permitted. While archaeologists believe it would be surprising if Little Skellig was completely unused in the past, modern visitors experience it only from the water – where its scale and wildlife are still jaw-dropping. When Skellig Michael Can Be Visited Access to Skellig Michael is extremely limited. The landing season generally runs from late April or early May through September, and even then, weather plays the deciding role. Roughly one-third of scheduled trips are canceled each year. Calm conditions on shore don't guarantee a landing; the swell at the island's pier must be minimal, and conditions can change quickly. Neil stresses that flexibility is essential. Neil Jackman at the monastery of Skellig Michaelimage provide by Neil; used with permission Booking Tips From Someone Who's Been There Demand for Skellig Michael has increased dramatically, and visitor numbers are tightly controlled for safety and preservation. What travelers should know: Landing permits sell out quickly Staying near Portmagee or Valentia Island improves your chances of last-minute openings Planning multiple days in the area gives you flexibility if weather cancels your trip There's no foolproof strategy – just patience, preparation, and backup plans. What a Landing Trip Is Really Like A landing trip typically includes a 45–55 minute boat ride each way, often rough even on decent days. Once ashore, visitors have several hours on the island – but the physical challenge comes fast. The climb to the monastery involves 618 steep stone steps, with no handrails and narrow sections where people pass in both directions. Neil's practical advice: Skip walking sticks; you need free hands for balance Anyone uncomfortable with heights should think carefully before starting the climb You don't need to be an athlete, but a reasonable level of fitness matters Take breaks – there are natural resting points along the way There is now a single toilet facility near the landing area, but queues form quickly. Puffins, Gannets, and Wildlife Encounters From April through early July, Skellig Michael is home to thousands of puffins, nesting right beside the steps. They're remarkably unfazed by visitors and are a highlight for many travelers. Gannets dominate the skies year-round, and crossings sometimes include sightings of dolphins or whales. Later in the season, the puffins are gone, but the atmosphere of the island remains just as powerful. Eco Tours: A Worthwhile Alternative For those who can't land – or choose not to – eco tours circle Skellig Michael and Little Skellig without docking. These trips focus on: Wildlife viewing Sea cliffs and island scale Close views of both Skelligs from the water Eco tours are a strong option for families with younger children or travelers uneasy with heights. Just remember that you remain on the boat for the entire trip, which can be challenging for anyone prone to seasickness. Archaeologist Neil Jackmanimage used with permission Neil Jackman of Abarta Heritage and Tuatha Neil Jackman is an archaeologist and the director of Abarta Heritage, a company focused on connecting people with Ireland's past through public archaeology projects, storytelling, and site interpretation. His work helps communities protect historic places while making them more meaningful and accessible to visitors. Neil is also behind Tuatha, a membership-based resource for travelers and Ireland enthusiasts. Tuatha offers heritage-focused itineraries, in-depth articles, expert-led online talks, and courses covering Irish archaeology, history, and genealogy. Many resources are designed to help travelers turn canceled plans – like a missed Skellig landing – into deeply rewarding days on the mainland. Tuatha on Facebook & Instagram Sign up for the free Monument Monday newsletter Three Places to Visit Along the Ring of Kerry (Beyond the Skelligs) When asked to narrow down must-see spots along the Ring of Kerry, Neil admits it's nearly impossible—but a few places consistently stand out. Valentia Island Tetrapod Trackway On Valentia Island, visitors can see 380-million-year-old fossilized footprints left by some of the earliest vertebrates to walk on land. There's no visitor center or flashy display – just a simple sign and one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world. Loher Stone Fort Loher is one of the best-preserved stone ring forts in Kerry. Massive stone walls, a dramatic setting, and a strong sense of place make it a standout stop for travelers interested in early settlement and defense. Ballinskelligs Priory and St. Michael's Holy Well Closely connected to Skellig Michael's story, Ballinskelligs Priory on the mainland was founded by monks who left the island. Nearby, St. Michael's Holy Well (Tobar Mhichíl) is a small, atmospheric site that ties the island monastery back into the surrounding landscape. Add in beaches, coastal walks, and a stop along the Skellig Ring, and it's easy to see why this part of Kerry rewards travelers who give it time.

Each year, over 11 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean, which is like dumping a garbage truck full of plastic every minute. For years, we've known that marine animals eat this debris, but no one had measured exactly how much plastic it takes to kill them. Dr. Erin Murphy, who leads ocean plastics research at the Ocean Conservancy, is the principal author of a major study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Her team analyzed more than 10,000 necropsies from 95 species of seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals worldwide. Earth911's summary describes this critical study, which found lethal plastic thresholds that could change how we view the plastic crisis.The study measured how deadly different types of plastic are to sea life, which makes the results especially useful for policymakers. Each finding suggests a clear policy action, such as banning balloon releases like Florida has done, banning plastic bags as in California's SB 54, or improving how fishing gear is marked and recovered. Still, Erin points out that focusing only on certain plastics is not enough. Her team found that even small amounts of any plastic can be dangerous. As she says, "At the end of the day, there is too much plastic in the ocean," and we need big changes at every stage of the plastics life cycle, from production to disposal.There's encouraging evidence that interventions work. Communities in Hawaii conducted large-scale beach cleanups and saw the Hawaiian monk seal population rebound. A study published in Science confirmed that bag bans reduce plastic on beaches by 25 to 47%. And Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup, now in its 40th year, removed more than a million plastic bags from beaches last year. These actions address a parallel crisis in human health that is building from the same pollution source. Most of the microplastics now found in humans and around the world began as the same macroplastics that are killing puffins and turtles. As Erin puts it, "I do view this all as part of the same crisis."You can read the full study at pnas.org and learn more about Ocean Conservancy's work at oceanconservancy.org.

en perle blant Norges fjellidyll.En: The clear blue sky cast a peaceful glow over the snow-covered landscape of the small village; a pearl among Norge's mountain idylls.No: Hver eneste grantrær var kledd i hvitt, og hyttene langs stien var som små, lune reder.En: Every single spruce was dressed in white, and the cabins along the trail were like small, cozy nests.No: Det var en perfekt dag for Signe og Helge å snøre på seg trugen og utforske vidda.En: It was a perfect day for Signe and Helge to strap on their snowshoes and explore the plateau.No: Signe hadde forberedt seg godt.En: Signe had prepared well.No: Vinteren var hennes element, og hun kunne ikke vente med å vise Helge hvordan man navigerte gjennom snøen som en ekspert.En: Winter was her element, and she couldn't wait to show Helge how to navigate through the snow like an expert.No: Helge, på sin side, var fascinert av Sigues entusiasme.En: Helge, on his part, was fascinated by Signe's enthusiasm.No: Han tok på seg trugen mer forsiktig, men med et smil.En: He put on his snowshoes more cautiously, but with a smile.No: Signe lo fornøyd når Helge prøvde å kopiere henne.En: Signe laughed contentedly as Helge tried to copy her.No: Da de kom forbi en åpen slette, oppdaget de noe uventet.En: As they came across an open plain, they discovered something unexpected.No: En flokk med lundefugler, som vanligvis ikke var her på denne tiden av året, satt i en forvirret klynge på bakken.En: A flock of puffins, which usually weren't here at this time of year, sat in a confused cluster on the ground.No: De flakset og kvitret nervøst.En: They flapped and chirped nervously.No: "De har forvillet seg!" utbrøt Signe.En: "They've lost their way!" exclaimed Signe.No: Hjertet hennes slo raskere; dette kunne være hennes sjanse til å vise Helge hva hun var god for.En: Her heart beat faster; this could be her chance to show Helge what she was capable of.No: Helge satte seg på huk og betraktet fuglene med et vennlig blikk.En: Helge crouched down and observed the birds with a friendly gaze.No: "Hva gjør vi?" spurte han.En: "What do we do?" he asked.No: Signe tenkte seg om, så grep hun tak i lomma etter en sjokoladeplate.En: Signe thought for a moment, then reached into her pocket for a chocolate bar.No: "Vi kan bruke dette," sa hun ivrig og brøt av en bit for å strø den foran fuglene.En: "We can use this," she said eagerly and broke off a piece to scatter it in front of the birds.No: Signe begynte å gi fra seg improviserte fuglelyder, og med et glimt av håp begynte noen av lundefuglene å røre på seg.En: Signe began to make improvised bird sounds, and with a glimmer of hope, some of the puffins started to move.No: Men snøen var dyp, og terrenget var vanskelig.En: But the snow was deep, and the terrain was difficult.No: Da de kom til kanten av en liten snøskavl, skled Signe og forsvant under et lag av snø, fulgt av en klynge av lundefugler som fattet mot til å følge etter.En: When they reached the edge of a small snowdrift, Signe slipped and disappeared under a layer of snow, followed by a cluster of puffins who gathered the courage to follow.No: Helge brast ut i latter og måtte klatre etter dem for å redde situasjonen.En: Helge burst out laughing and had to climb after them to rescue the situation.No: Mens de prøvde å løsne lundefuglene fra Sigones snøfylte genser, lo Helge fortsatt.En: As they tried to free the puffins from Signe's snow-filled sweater, Helge was still laughing.No: "Det er ikke alltid man kan tvinge naturen til å høre etter," sa han med et smil.En: "You can't always force nature to listen," he said with a smile.No: Sammen rotet de seg ned fra snøskavlen, og etter noen forsøk, syntes lundefuglene å finne sin retning igjen.En: Together they scrambled down from the snowdrift, and after a few tries, the puffins seemed to find their direction again.No: Signe sto der, dekket av snø, hvesende lett.En: Signe stood there, covered in snow, breathing lightly.No: Hun gløttet mot Helge med et beskjedent smil.En: She glanced at Helge with a modest smile.No: Hun forsto nå at hun ikke trengte å vise seg frem; den ekte gleden kom fra å være akkurat der, sammen med Helge.En: She realized now that she didn't need to show off; the real joy came from just being there, with Helge.No: Mens de gikk nedover stien, mot den lille hytta i dalen, følte Helge seg takknemlig for å ha lært fra Signe og hennes eventyrlyst.En: As they walked down the trail, towards the small cabin in the valley, Helge felt grateful for having learned from Signe and her sense of adventure.No: Snart forsvant flokken av lundefugler mot horisonten, og de to vennene pakket sammen dagen med et vennlig nikk og visshet om en uforglemmelig vinterdag.En: Soon, the flock of puffins disappeared toward the horizon, and the two friends wrapped up the day with a friendly nod and the knowledge of an unforgettable winter day.No: Det var en enkel påminnelse om at naturen, akkurat som mennesker, har sine egne planer, og det å feile noen ganger bare er en del av eventyret.En: It was a simple reminder that nature, just like people, has its own plans, and that failing sometimes is just a part of the adventure.

Life, loss, and puffins: a novel DB125028 Author: Hyde, Catherine Ryan Reading Time: 7 hours, 40 minutes Read by: Mare Trevathan Subjects: Family, Friendship Fiction “Freakishly smart. That’s the unwelcome box Ru Evans is put into for life. After all, she taught herself euclidean geometry at age seven, has an eidetic memory, and is about to enter college at thirteen years old. Boarding at a house near campus 150 miles from home, Ru meets seventeen-year-old Gabriel, an outsider himself who, like Ru, has trouble making friends–until they form a fast sibling-like bond. Finding a relatable someone in the world to talk to is a first for both of them. But when Ru’s mother dies and the threat of living with her miserable aunt looms, Ru hatches an escape. It’s an impulsive road trip that takes Ru and Gabriel from California to Canada, where Ru can fulfill her ultimate dream: to see Atlantic puffins in the glorious wild. Mile by mile, Ru discovers the joy of friendship, found family, dark night skies, and the aurora borealis, and she basks in going from being a smart person to just a person. Though she knows they’ll be in trouble when they’re caught, for the short time they are navigating twist by twist of an unknown road, the freedom is liberating, and she is living for what feels like the first time.” — Provided by publisher.

We go to the Westman Islands off the southern coast of Iceland and meet the heroes who save young birds that have wandered from their nests every summer.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Atlantic puffin is a real crowd-pleaser. While people know them as a nesting bird of rocky Maine Islands in summer, small numbers winter in deep Massachusetts waters.

Every summer, puffins — like this Horned Puffin — grow blazingly colorful layers over the bases of their huge beaks. But in the winter, puffins lead very different lives, and they shed their bright ornamentation. Puffins in winter are largely solitary — and silent. They spend about seven months alone at sea, before returning once again to their colonies to breed.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Thanks to the stalwart efforts of Ulster Wildlife, the Northern Irish conservation charity, Puffins have returned to nest on the Isle of Muck off the coast of Co. Antrim for the first time in 25 years. This was made possible in part by the systematic eradication of non-native Brown Rats from the tiny island...

Lots to discsuss this week with Carl Kinsell, from Ireland's victory in the soccer yesterday to President Catherine Connolly's inauguration and the return of puffins to the Isle of Muck in County Antrim.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.

#183 - Jamie Edwards returns to Journey with Jake with tales from the top of the world, having ventured to the Arctic with her 21-year-old daughter and 82-year-old stepfather. Their expedition through the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard reveals a landscape where polar bears roam distant shores and massive glaciers calve with thunderous crashes that signal our changing climate.Jamie vividly describes the unique challenges and thrills of Arctic exploration aboard the purpose-built Ultramarine ship. Unlike Antarctica (which Jamie visited previously), the Arctic's main attraction—and danger—is the magnificent polar bear. These apex predators can smell prey from up to 20 miles away and swim for days without stopping, facts that add a layer of respectful caution to every shore excursion. The expedition team constantly scans shorelines through powerful scopes before allowing passengers to disembark, ensuring both human safety and wildlife protection.What makes this journey particularly special is the three-generation dynamic. For Jamie's environmentally-conscious daughter, seeing climate change impacts firsthand provided powerful context to her studies. For her adventurous 82-year-old stepfather, it was an opportunity he'd never have experienced otherwise. And for Jamie—someone who typically dislikes cold weather but couldn't resist the Arctic's allure—the expedition became another transformative travel experience, even culminating in the traditional "polar plunge" into frigid waters.Beyond her Arctic adventures, Jamie shares updates on her expanding writing career, including contributions to National Geographic's upcoming "Traveler's Atlas" and her travel coaching services. Her website IamLostandFound.com continues to serve as both personal travel journal and professional portfolio, connecting her with opportunities to share her passion for thoughtful, transformative travel experiences.Whether you're planning your own polar expedition or simply enjoy armchair adventures, this conversation offers both practical insights and philosophical reflections on how travel changes us—"you go into it one way, you come out of it another."Be sure and check out Jamie's work on her website www.iamlostandfound.com. Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

Atlantic puffins face an increasingly precarious foothold due in part to a loss of habitat and to troubles tied to warming ocean waters and climate change. But an effort off the coast of Maine continues to provide a crucial nesting habitat for these seabirds and a place for them to thrive.

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare's Ukraine Fellow Anastasiia Lapatina and Contributing Editors Eric Ciaramella and Alex Zerden to talk through the week's big national security and foreign policy news, including: “The Road to Damascus.” Over the past two weeks, the Trump administration has done an extraordinary about-face on U.S. policy towards Syria, installing almost universal exceptions to most existing sanctions programs and promising to end others. European and other allies seem poised to follow suit, all in an effort to forestall the feared collapse of the post-Assad transitional government being headed by Ahmed al-Sharaa, himself a former terrorist leader. But will it be enough to put post-Civil War Syria on the road to recovery? And will this new policy orientation prove sustainable?“No Fly Zone.” Ukraine struck a historic blow deep into Russian territory over the weekend with a daring series of coordinated drone attacks—dubbed “Operation Spider Web”—that may have wiped out as much as a third of Moscow's strategically important long range bombers. But will the attack help drive the costs of the conflict home to Russia, or trigger another round of escalation? And how will it be received by the Trump administration, several senior members of which are skeptical of U.S. support for Ukraine?“Double Taxation.” President Trump's aggressive use of tariffs suffered a pair of defeats in federal court last week, as two different courts chose to enjoin them, for two different sets of reasons. While both decisions have since been stayed, it's a discouraging sign for the viability of the legal authorities being relied on by the Trump administration. Yet President Trump has continued to threaten tariffs aggressively, including against Europe. How big a threat are these legal holdings to the Trump administration's policy agenda? And how will they impact its efforts to negotiate new bilateral trade deals, with allies and rivals alike?In Object Lessons, Eric polished off the last of The Rehearsal's Season 2 and was left in awe of the show's ability to actually become a show. Nastya returned from colder climates with a warm endorsement of all things Finland: its history, its icy stare at Russia, and its impressive ability to survive both. Speaking of war, Scott dove sword-first into fantasy, reminded of Joe Abercrombie's The First Law trilogy after the new release of “The Devils.” And Alex kept it historical with a recommendation of “The Watchdog: How the Truman Committee Battled Corruption and Helped Win World War Two,” by Steve Drummond.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
