Related tangentially, an article about the disappearing puffin colonies around Iceland's Westman Islands, home to 20% of the world's puffins. The puffins apparently stopped breeding successfully 10 years ago because climate change was driving away the sand eels.

References something I had not heard of before - the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, which also could be impacting our shores as well.
