 The article discusses how a puffin, a distinctive bird with an orange beak, was spotted flying over London. This is unusual as puffins are typically found in Iceland and the North Atlantic. The bird was seen by a canal boat resident who reported it to a specialist center. The center confirmed the sighting and said it may have been blown off course or escaped from captivity. The article also mentions that puffins are not commonly seen in the UK and that this sighting is a rare occurrence.
