Rescue workers from the League for the Protection of Birds in south-west France have released the last rehabilitated puffins back into the Atlantic after a catastrophic winter.⁣
⁣
Successive storms battered the Bay of Biscay this season, washing exhausted and starving birds ashore in their thousands. Already weakened by overfishing, nearly 48,000 were recovered from Portugal to Brittany — with experts warning many more sank before ever reaching the beaches.⁣
⁣
"Every life counts," said LPO president Allain Bougrain-Dubourg. "It's a wonderful moment."⁣
