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
We need YOUR help to protect our important seabird heritage
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.
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.
