Today the team carried out a survey of the seabirds on Annet. Thanks to Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust for permissions to carry out the survey work, St Agnes Boating and volunteers Liz, Richard and Mark for joining the survey team.  

This week Guides Dave and Dave saw Manxies and seabirds galore! It was raining but did not dampen the passengers spirits! 

Today Project Officer Vickie Heaney led a team to carry out a seabird survey on Annet. Thanks to Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, St Agnes boating andf volunteers Liz, Richard and Mark.

This weekend we were delighted to have been asked to give a talk at RSPB weekend at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham 

This evening Project Officer Lydia Titterton and Project Assistant Holly Paget-Brown gave inspirational talk to the U3A on Scilly. 

Today we were joined by journalist Mark Rowe, National Geographic Traveller, and his lovely family. Writing a feature on Scilly for the annual National Geographic Traveller Family issue they joined us at the Manx shearwater burrows. 

Over the past 48 hours we have carried out a ‘mock rat incursion response’ to test our protocols for removing rats if, and when, one returns to St Agnes or Gugh.

Thank you to everyone involved. If and when a rat gets back we all feel confident that this robust incursion plan combined with its resources, will have a high probability of returning the islands to, and maintaining them as, ‘rat-free’.   

Each Friday RSPB volunteers onboard the Scillonian III Ferry point out the widlife seen to the passengers. This week Manxies, gannets and bottlenose  dolphins! 

This week Guides Dave and Dave saw lots of seabirds, dolphins and porpoises from the ferry, and on the islands - the Purple Heron at Lower Moors!
