Aww Always nice to see people helping nature

[@jeanclaudejunior]

That's great. Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Cornwall, Brittany, the Faroe Islands, USA, Norway, Greenland and England should do the same thing

[@a-aron2276]

It would be only I don't think that's happening in Ireland at least, I can't speak for the other countries. At least I haven't heard about it believe you me that'd be front page news here😂

[@kdhendidhhd]

Way better a thing to do than killing whales.

[@chiensyang]

I would love to help the pufflings. Only if there were any of them landed near my home!

[@KandiKlover]

Finally, somewhere we can touch the wildlife without researchers getting mad at us for having fun.

Th flight from the city doesn’t make it hard unless the moon is covered, so research you bum

[@rafael_lana]

They can't tell the difference from the moon and artificial lights to begin with genius 🤦‍♂️ even if it is full moon, if there's a brighter lamppost with white lights it might confuse them
