A special place... The Isles of Scilly are one of only two places in England where Manx Shearwaters breed
Under threat...The Isles of Scilly hold 3,000 fewer pairs of breeding seabirds than 25 years ago
We stopped for a little break to have a look at this amazing lichen on one of the cairns on Gugh. It is Golden hair lichen which is believed to be very ancient and may have remained unchanged for millions of years!

Could the abundance of lichens change since the removal of rats?
