Puffins on Lundy soar from 13 to 1,335 after rat cull
Lundy Island's rat-eradication project, launched in 2002, has been a resounding success for its seabird population. Puffin numbers have soared from just 13 in 2000 to 1,335 today, proving that a little ecological intervention can go a long way. The island is now a haven for puffins, though the rats might have a different perspective on the whole affair.
