Hi guys, Hayley here with your Tuesday Newsround.

But things haven't been so great for these guys lately.

Across the UK, their numbers are down, and now there's a threat

Well, they're small, brilliant swimmers.

They're often paired together for life.

And I'm here in the very windy Isle of Mull, as you can see by my hair,

to take that boat out to the island of Lunga to see some.

Dave, who is a bird expert in Mull, is going to help me find

And it's been a long journey, but we finally made it.

Just behind us are some beautiful birds.

Apart from being beautiful, what's so special about them?

Well, these puffins are now in serious trouble.

They're on what you call the Red List.

One in ten of all puffins come from the UK, so we've got that

Elsewhere, places like Iceland and parts of northern Scotland,

the puffin colonies have gone, and that's what

Why are they on the decline in other parts of the UK?

What we think is the biggest decline now is to do with global warming

These birds have evolved to catch particular types of fish

in particular temperatures of seas, and as the temperature of the sea

is rising, those fish are moving further away and out of reach

So what can we do in order to protect these puffins?

The RSPB has launched Project Puffin, and it is

trying to get people to take photographs of the puffins

as they come in with the fish that they catch.

With that we can work out why there is a problem in other

They're just fantastic little characters, aren't they?

I mean, just the fact that they look so happy and secure,

and yet we know deep down now that they are in trouble.

We could really help this bird and keep it looking bright

and cheerful and happy, and go on enjoying it for years to come.

Well, I think it's time to leave these funny and beautiful birds

in peace, but honestly, despite the weather, I could sit

Now, on Newsround, we like to get you close to the news,

and you don't get much closer to a rocket launch than this.

China launched this massive rocket this week to take

But launches aren't always as easy as it can seem.

This rocket actually failed to get into space.

Next, to Chile in South America, where forest fires devastated

Well, people there have come up with a new way

to replant the forest - and it sounds barking mad.

There aren't many dogs who would say no to a nice,

But these guys aren't doing this for fun.

They are actually helping to plant the trees and flowers.

Forest fires ripped through parts of central Chile last year, burning

But since March, these border collies, called

Summer, Olivia and Daz, have been helping it to recover.

Well, the dogs wear a special satchel on their collar

When they run, the seeds get spread across the land.

TRANSLATION: We could do it ourselves, but we can't do as much.

We can walk around three kilometres per day,

The dogs, however, can travel 30 or 40 kilometres in one outing.

The first signs of life are returning to the forest

and people there are hoping that in a few years, it will have

It's the fourth of July today - which means it's

US Independence Day, America's national day

And some people have been celebrating in

It's America's famous dish, and sure,

But eating 21 burgers in ten minutes?

Reigning champ, Molly Schuyler, scoffed the most - and then asked

for a chocolate milkshake to wash it down with!

Head online to see the UK fast food that's been sent into space.

I've got two favourite shows on CBBC.

My first one is The Next Step because I love dancing.
