The scientific name for a Manx Shearwater (forfeit: puffin) is Puffinus puffinus.

It is silent at sea, but at night the breeding colonies are alive with raucous cackling calls, higher pitched than the Manx Shearwater's.

The seabird survey in 2000 also recorded 34 occupied nests of Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus).

Its breeding bird colonies include puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, cormorants, shags, and the burrow-breeding Manx shearwater.

The name puffin - puffed in the sense of swollen - was originally applied to the fatty salted meat of young birds of the unrelated species Manx Shearwater, Puffinus puffinus.

Lockley's experiments with Manx shearwaters (Puffinus puffinus) showed that when released "under a clear sky" far from their nests (in Skokholm), the seabirds first oriented themselves and then "flew off in a direct line for Skokholm", making the journey rapidly.

The first breeding record of the manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) in North America was discovered when a nest containing a chick was found here in 1973, the first time this species had been found nesting on the western side of the North Atlantic.
