This is a another shot of the same Puffin I posted earlier. As well as the sand eel and the feather, I'm sure I can count at least nine bits of nylon or plastic in this little guy's bill, all of which were presumably intended as nesting material.
The BBC Blue Planet II series had a global impact and reached over 37m people in the UK alone. As a result, so many of us have been inspired to want change on reducing plastic waste and, of course, for something to be done about the devastating pollution that already exists.
The photo I posted earlier was shown on BBC Springwatch Wild Academy on 7 June (mainly aimed at school children) and BBC Springwatch on 14 June 2018 as part of a feature on the problem of plastic pollution affecting our oceans. Hopefully, images like this, as heartbreaking as some of them are, will help to bring about positive change to one of the biggest environmental issues of our time.
Taken on the Isle of Lunga, May 2018.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
