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
Today we guided the St Agnes primary school base on a field trip to hear the Manx shearwaters in the burrows filmed by BBC Autumn watch. The Manx shearwaters incubating eggs in the burrows responded to call-back which delighted the students and teachers! Pupils asked excellent questions about the project and how they can protect their seabird for years to come
