点评:The island is surreal and beautiful and there were plenty of puffins and birds nesting, but this only made me more uncomfortable about the lack of protection for the wildlife and I know that the wardens do their best. It isn't within anyone's control as the island is privately owned. I went in without much knowledge about the island but left feeling unsettled at the fact that there is no barrier beyond the word of the wardens not to go close to the puffins or startle them, and to take photos from a distance. It is impossible for the wardens to manage the groups of people and there are a minority of people who do try to get close or break the rules. Some of the burrows for the puffins are literally underneath the walking trails in some spots because they don't know any better, and their primary predator (gulls) is being further attracted by people who just don't listen and eat food near the puffins. I saw visitors ignoring the rules and having food in close proximity to the puffins when the wardens were down the other end of the area.
It is a wonderful experience but take responsibility for yourself and listen to the wardens. Understand the implications of not listening.
翻译:这座岛屿美得如梦似幻,还有许多海鹦和鸟类筑巢,但这反而让我对野生动物保护的缺失感到更加不安,我知道管理员们已经尽力了。由于这座岛屿是私人所有,所以无人能控制。我来之前对这座岛屿了解不多,但离开时却感到不安,因为除了管理员的指示,禁止靠近海鹦或惊吓它们,以及禁止远距离拍照之外,没有任何安全措施。管理员根本无法管理成群结队的游客,而且确实有少数人试图靠近或违反规定。有些地方的海鹦洞穴甚至就在步道下方,因为它们不了解情况。而它们的主要捕食者(海鸥)则被那些不听话、在海鹦附近觅食的人进一步吸引。我看到游客们无视规定,在管理员在另一端的时候,在海鹦附近觅食。
这是一次很棒的经历,但请对自己负责,听从管理员的指示。要明白不听从的后果。
