"‘I’ve always longed to see a puffin.’ How many times have I heard that plaintive remark? It’s generally expressed in the sort of tone you’d expect if the person had always longed to see an angel – as if an expedition to see a puffin would require months of planning, specialist equipment of the most colossally expensive kind, along with the luck of the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo. The fact of the matter is that all you need is a train ticket, or the means to make a car journey. We are the tiniest bit reluctant to make a journey for the sake of the wild world."
