Today the project hosted a field trip for Cornwall College, Newquay Ecology and Conservation students. We heard a Manx shearwater call from a burrow on Penninis, St Marys' and learnt how although the chicks here are unlikely to fledge on St Mary’s due to predation by rats, just 1.8km over the water on St Agnes and Gugh, their future is much brighter. The students learnt all about the project, the ongoing ecological monitoring and how they themselves can assist our field work during their academic studies! 

Thanks to the group for their kind words of the project so far and we look forward to working with the returning students soon.
