Today the Council of the Isles of Scilly Holiday club and the Project teamed up to deliver a wildlife activity on Tresco. In the words of the participants - it was epic! 

We headed over to Tresco to be wildlife explorers for the day. We carried out a seabird survey on the boat; a bug hunt on the heath; played ‘wildlife bingo’ in Tresco gardens and then looked fro wildlife from the bird hides.

Highlights of the day included seeing Tresco’s red squirrels at their feed time and a baby red squirrel! We learnt all about how squirrels are declining in their native habitats and need protection. We saw the stunning golden pheasants too. Other highlights were completing our bingo, including seeing three species of gulls, and seeing lots of wildlife species. Thanks to everyone who came along!
