We have had our first record of a storm petrel chick for 2016! Community member and volunteer Johann Hicks was the first of the team to hear a storm petrel chick on St Agnes, and since we have recorded 3 more across St Agnes and Gugh. They hatch later than other seabirds, so we will be recording them into October. It is impossible to see them in their nesting sites in bolder beaches (this picture is of an adult nesting in bolders on Castle Bryher this year), but we can hear their peeping calls at night. Their survival is due to the removal of the rats, as this is the second year they have now been recorded. Prior to 2015, there were no records in living memory.
