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!
