Puffins are struggling to survive Storm Chandra because they cannot find food in strong winds, experts say.

Several of the birds have washed up on beaches across Scotland - about 1,000 miles from their winter home in the North Atlantic.

Conservationists said it was "concerning" to find so many of the country's "most loved birds" turning up dead months before they were set to return to Scottish shores.
