Birds of Lunga
Written By Brian Russell
Lunga is part of the Treshnish Isles, located about 4 nm west of the western coast of the Isle of Mull in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides. Puffins return here every year from their life at sea to raise their young. We arrived just after they had left their ground burrows and had returned to the water. There were also a great many terns, gulls and cormorants, as well as very melodic seals on some distant rocks. Some of the beautiful creatures did not survive their journey, but I think their remains deserve memorialization.
