The number of Puffin nests in Alderney has almost trebled since the island's wildlife trust starting monitoring the animals in 2005.

Alderney Wildlife Trust said the latest Puffin Survey found 330 active nests on Burhou compared to the 120 initially recorded in the first study.

The trust released the figures along with other data collected in its annual review.
