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
Its a great time of year for nesting seabirds and waders, but careful where you walk. Look out for the nesting behaviour of these birds, if they are calling and showing signs of distress carfeully move away fro the area as there could be a well camouflaged nest or even chicks nearby.
This is another species which could benefit from the removal of rats as their nests are vulerable to predation.
