0:00:05 > 0:00:07Morning, guys, Ricky here with your Tuesday Newsround.

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Coming up: The plan to help out puffins.

0:00:10 > 0:00:20And a very unusual wedding.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24Wimbledon has started.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27And Andy Murray got over worries about his sore hip

0:00:27 > 0:00:29to win his opening match.

0:00:29 > 0:00:33The reigning champ beat Alexander Bublik in under two hours

0:00:33 > 0:00:37and will play Germany's Dustin Brown in Round Two.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40And it was a pretty easy day for British number one

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Johanna Konta, who got through to the next round

0:00:42 > 0:00:46where she'll play Donna Vekic.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Now, did you know that nearly 40,000 tennis fans came

0:00:48 > 0:00:51through the turnstiles here at Wimbledon on

0:00:51 > 0:00:52the first day alone?

0:00:52 > 0:00:54That's a lot!

0:00:54 > 0:00:57So we caught up with a few of them to find out what they were

0:00:57 > 0:01:00looking forward to.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03It's Wimbledon.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06It's one of the biggest events in the world.

0:01:06 > 0:01:13I'm very excited to be here at Wimbledon because I haven't

0:01:13 > 0:01:15met many players and I've only seen them on TV.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's really amazing to be here.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18I've never been here before.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21It's really different than I imagined in my head.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25I like Nadal and Federer.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27They are really good and they're really graceful

0:01:27 > 0:01:28when they hit their shots.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I really, really want to see Andy Murray because he is ranked

0:01:31 > 0:01:36number one in the world and I can't wait to see him play.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38It's amazing because he's the person I look up to when I play tennis

0:01:38 > 0:01:41and I just want to be like when I'm older.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I know I'm going to see the Nadal match on Court One.

0:01:44 > 0:01:50I'm going to see a bit of the Venus Williams match.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52I saw Federer over there warming up.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57What?!

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Everyone loves puffins.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01But things haven't been so great for these guys lately.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Across the UK, their numbers are down and now there's a threat

0:02:04 > 0:02:05they could disappear altogether.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Whitney has been to find out more.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10What do we know about puffins?

0:02:10 > 0:02:13They are small, brilliant swimmers.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15They are often paired together for life.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16How sweet.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21I'm here in the very windy Ilse of Mull, as you can see by my hair,

0:02:21 > 0:02:27to take that boat out to the island of Lunga to see some.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Dave, who is a bird expert in Mull, is going to help me find

0:02:30 > 0:02:35out more about puffins.

0:02:35 > 0:02:42It has been a long journey but we finally made it.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Check this out.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44They are everywhere.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Take a look at this.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49They are so cute.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Hello.

0:02:51 > 0:03:01Just behind us is some beautiful birds.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Apart from being beautiful, what is so special about them?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06These puffins are now in serious trouble.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08They are on what you call the red list.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09They could go extinct.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13One in ten of all puffins come from the UK so we have got that

0:03:13 > 0:03:14responsibility to look after them.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Elsewhere, places like Iceland and parts of northern Scotland,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19the puffin colonies have gone and that is what we are

0:03:19 > 0:03:20really worried about.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Why are they declining in other parts of the UK?

0:03:22 > 0:03:25What we think is the biggest decline is to do with global warming

0:03:25 > 0:03:29and climate change.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32These birds have evolved to catch particular types of fish

0:03:32 > 0:03:37in particular temperatures of seas and as the temperature of the sea

0:03:37 > 0:03:40is rising those fish are moving further away and out of reach

0:03:40 > 0:03:41of the puffins.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44What can we do in order to protect these puffins?

0:03:44 > 0:03:48The RSPB has launched Project Puffin and it is trying to get people

0:03:48 > 0:03:51to take photographs of the puffins as they come in with

0:03:51 > 0:03:52the fish that they catch.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54They catch things like sand eels.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57With that we can work out why there is a problem in other

0:03:57 > 0:03:58parts of their range.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Why do you love them so much?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03They are just fantastic little characters, aren't they?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Just the fact that they look so happy and secure

0:04:06 > 0:04:08and yet we know deep down now that they are in trouble.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11We could really help this bird and keep it looking bright

0:04:11 > 0:04:14and cheerful and happy and go on enjoying it for years to come.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I think it is time to leave these funny and beautiful birds

0:04:17 > 0:04:19in peace but honestly, despite the weather, I could sit

0:04:19 > 0:04:21here and watch them all day.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Next to Mexico, where this happened over the weekend.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27The mayor of San Pedro Huamelula married a crocodile.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Now, this is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years.

0:04:30 > 0:04:35It's part of a festival to celebrate the town's patron saint.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38The reptile bride, dressed in white with a flower crown on its head,

0:04:38 > 0:04:44is taken around the town to music before the ceremony takes place.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I hope there were no crocodile tears.

0:04:47 > 0:04:57That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at 8:15am.
