the Witless Bay 'puffin patrol' picked up 100 fledgling puffins last night, inland around brightly lit roads, homes and businesses in the Witless Bay area - these birds are confused by artificial lighting and fly inland with fatal results instead of heading out to sea - the 'patrol' likely picks up only a fraction of the birds affected - the lucky birds get released offshore
