We saw gulls, common terns, shags and even a peregrine falcon. Interestingly -  even Canada geese and a mallard were on Great Bay where we ended the fab walk, maybe they were having a day at the beach like us! Feedback from the children about what the learnt included; 

'It was good to learn about the different species of seabirds, and see what they look like through binoculars' 

'I have never used binoculars before - it was fun to see the seabirds up close!'

‘The Isles of Scilly are important for seabirds’

‘Some seabirds are nocturnal’

‘There is no such thing as a seaguls – there are different ,species of gulls’

‘Manx shearwaters call to each other when it gets dark’

‘the difference between a shag and a cormorant’

‘Bugs live in cuckoo spit!’

‘I have never seen a peregrine falcon before and today I did. It is the fastest animal on the planet’

Thanks to Mr Treneer and a big thank you to all the children for taking part and being our future seabird ambassadors!
