Lunga island. I have seen a lot of puffins but always on cliffs or on the sea. Lunga island allows you to see puffins in their nesting sites. I have wanted to come to Lunga island for years having read many times this one of the best places to see puffins.

This area is known for rain, wind and bad weather. Odds of a nice day are not good. But the weather gods were kind again. It was calm, overcast but clear and no rain forecast.

We were warned constantly that the landing was going to be hard. Landing on steep rocks we had to climb up to get to the grassy area. They were not kidding and advised only people that could achieve this should go. Steep and slippery.

The expedition team did an amazing job with a person helping you all the way up. Without their help I am sure someone would have slipped. Then was a gradual climb up a grassy hill to the puffins.

An amazing experience. So many birds of many types. The noise level reminded me of a penguin colony just a different sound. But of course the highlight was the puffins. You could get really close to them. I was in absolute puffin heaven.

Pictures will tell the story.
