Current Goal

This poor puffin is a victim of global warming!

She was born in Iceland and moved in Finland with us in June 2013. Few months ago we noticed what was happening to her and the home rock where her nest was! She was near to drown! The poor thing was rescued immediatly but somehow I see this is not a place where she is able to be free and happy. She belongs to Iceland. We would like to send her back to her home country. We hope to see this bird flying around and across Iceland and we would be delighted to get a lot of photos of our beloved friend.

Unfortunately I have to state that this TB has gone missing since the cache it was left in has been destroyed. As an owner of the destroeyd cache I apologize the poor fate of this TB.

Found the puffin a while ago when visiting Helsinki, but then it was still shown as being with its owner, rather than in the cache where I found it. Unfortunately it has a little technical damage, possibly from how the cache box was closed on it: the puffin is broken off the base plate, and the TB tag is not connected to either part. I tried glueing the puffin back on the base, but couldn't make that stable, and have no idea how the TB tag was associated to the whole thing. In order to keep it moving, and as I am now heading in a direction that could get the TB closer to its goal, I now put those three parts in a plastic zip bag and will try to find a Nordic cache for it that would be closer than Helsinki.
