🌲 #Bird populations have soared on #LundyIsland with some 40,000 rare #seabirds thriving on its shores

The #BristolChannel island is home to 95% of #England's breeding #Manx Shearwaters, a species that was once on the brink of extinction on #Lundy

Thanks to a project that eradicated rats from the island in 2006, the #Shearwater population has soared from about 600 in 2001 to more than 25,000

#Puffins have increased in number from 13 in the year 2000 to 1,335 in 2023
