Meet Cliff...He was a male Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) who was rescued from a beach in Douglas, Isle of Man on the 29th of October 2022, Cliff appeared to have been washed up in a storm.
He was obviously young and was in a bit of a state, unable to fly and not yet fully waterproof. It was clear that the weakened puffling required urgent attention and care, and thanks to the dedicated efforts of his rescuers and the support of the vets team at Curraghs Wildlife Park in the Isle of Man, Cliff was eventually nursed back to health.
He joined the Sanctuary´s colony of ten rescued puffins to live out his years alongside his new friends as of December 2024. Click here to read Cliff´s press release.
Cliff´s ID tag colour ring is Silver and Red.
Update : It is with heavy hearts that the Cornish Seal Sanctuary shared the passing of our much-loved puffin, Cliff, who sadly died after a sudden illness on Friday 5th September 2025.
The animal care team at the Sanctuary, alongside the Rosevean veterinarian team, worked tirelessly to give Cliff the best care possible, but unfortunately, we lost Cliff to a very sudden and short illness. We are currently awaiting post-mortem results to understand the cause of his illness.
It is never easy to lose one of our family, and it is especially difficult for the animals left behind. Cliff made quite the entrance when he arrived at Puffin Island and Billie quickly became his biggest fan. Last year they partnered up and were inseparable ever since. His passing has been particularly hard for her, but our animal care team are making sure that she is receiving all the extra love and care she needs. Click here to read more.
