They did a much better job at singing the song than the Project Manager(!). The lyrics for the song, which have great key messages about how to help our seabirds are;
Manx shearwater Christmas song
Special seabirds live in Scilly
Special seabirds need OUR help!
We can see them from the islands
Or when we're out on a boat
Watch the fly – FLAP FLAP FLAP!
To catch their fish – YUM YUM YUM
Special seabirds live in Scilly
Special seabirds need OUR help!
During Christmas they are in Brazil
But in springtime they’ll be back
To dig their burrows – DIG, DIG, DIG!
To raise a chick – CHEEP, CHEEP, CHEEP!
Special seabirds live in Scilly
Special seabirds need OUR help!
Now we know all about our shearwaters
Let’s help protect them all year round
Don’t drop litter – NO, NO, NO!
And report any rats – RAT, RAT, RAT!
Special seabird live in Scilly
Special seabirds need OUR help!
Feliz Navidad to our Manx shearwaters!
