A webcam has been installed inside a custom-made puffin burrow on an island off the coast of north west England, offering a glimpse into the nest of two parent birds.
Coquet Island is referred to as a "certified seabird sanctuary" by Britain's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
It is located off the coast of Northumberland and currently has four live cameras switched on to allow for the surveillance of the birds.
Those watching can expect to catch the hatching of a chick from an egg the parents have laid and regularly take turns to sit on.
The egg, laid on 25 April, is expected to hatch around May 31.
Puffins mate for life and both the male and female help to incubate the egg and raise the chick.
When the chick does emerge, the parents will continue to take care of it until it has developed wing feathers that are large enough for flight.
The camera's stream will run from 4 May until the puffins leave in July or August.
Puffins spend two-thirds of their lives bobbing on the ocean in groups called rafts - and only come to land to breed.
Ireland hosts several colonies of breeding puffins including the Skelligs in Kerry as well as Clare, Donegal and Rathlin island.
