Tonight we recorded the first Manx shearwater chicks of the year on St Agnes and Gugh as they 'stargazed' outside their burrows ahead of migration.
Thanks to Naomi Stratton (Natural England), volunteer Nina, and community residents for assisting the survey. We saw 4 chicks in total on this first survey,and what a night for them to fix the stars to return to their natal burrows in years to come. Pictures by Chris Prowse.
