When Lina went to bed, there were 240 gulls on the lake. This is our starting number.

That night, a flock of 29 geese joined them. This is the number we are adding to the original number of gulls.

To find out how many birds were on the lake when Lina woke up, we add the number of gulls to the number of geese.

So, 240 (gulls) + 29 (geese) = 269 birds.

Therefore, there were 269 birds on the lake when Lina woke up.
