In the rain, Manx shearwaters were tucked away in their burrows during the day (sitting on their egg) and called back to a tape player of the Manx shearwater call, to let us know they were in their burrows! This is how Seabird Ecologist Dr. Vickie Heaney surveys the Manxies, and the volunteers were amazed to hear these incredible birds beneath the ground and learn all about the survey methodology. Volunteer Lydia Titterton said 'its just incredible to hear them, I did not know anything about them last week and now I have learnt so much'.
