Seeing Seabirds

The Isles of Scilly are a great place to see seabirds. Whilst some seabirds can be seen all year, others only come here to breed during April to September.  If you want to see puffins and other auks then a visit to the islands between mid April and July is required.

Some of the best ways to get to know your seabirds  

• Boat trips around the uninhabited islands in summer are a great way to see the seabird spectacle.

• Guided natural history walks, talks and events will help your understanding of the important seabird heritage.

• Listen for the eerie calls of the Manx shearwater at night during spring and summer
