A special place... The Isles of Scilly are one of only two places in England where Manx Shearwaters breed
Under threat...The Isles of Scilly hold 3,000 fewer pairs of breeding seabirds than 25 years ago
Seabird surveys in 2013 started
Volunteers helped make a count of nesting seabirds on the island of Annet at the end of May. The islands supports nesting Manx shearwater, storm petrel and puffin. There were mixed fortunes, with nests of shag being much more successful than last year but herring gull numbers were down.
