    Isles of Scilly Naturetrek Tour Report 14 - 21 September 2019 Porthcressa and the Garrison Red Squirrel Grey Seals Birdwatching on Peninnis Head Report & Images by Andrew Cleave Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Isles of Scilly Tour participants: Andrew Cleave (leader) plus 12 Naturetrek clients Summary Our early-autumn week on the Isles of Scilly was timed to coincide with the bird migration which is easily observed on the islands. Our crossings to and from Scilly on Scillonian III enabled us to see seabirds in their natural habitat, and the many boat trips we took during the week gave us close views of plenty of the resident and migrant birds which were feeding and sheltering closer to shore. We had long walks on all of the inhabited islands and as well as birds, managed to see some marine mammals, many rare plants and some interesting intertidal marine life. Informative evening lectures by resident experts were well received and we also sampled lovely food in many of the pubs and cafés on the islands. Our waterfront accommodation in Schooners Hotel was very comfortable and ideally placed for access to the harbour and Hugh Town. Day 1 Saturday 14th September We began our trip in Penzance harbour where we boarded Scillonian III for the crossing to Scilly. Conditions were fine for the crossing and those of us up on deck had good views of seabirds, including Gannets, Fulmars and winter-plumage auks as we followed the Cornish coast and then headed out into the Atlantic.

  • SMP2 6 Final Report
    6 ACTION PLAN 6.1 Coastal risk management activities The Action Plan for the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Shoreline Management Plan review provides the basis for taking forward the intent of management which is discussed and developed through Chapter 4 - and summarised through the preferred policy choices set out in Chapter 5. The SMP guidance states that the purpose of the Action Plan is to summarise the actions that are required before the next review of the SMP however in reality the Action Plan is looking much further into the future in order to provide guidance on how the overall management intent for 100 years may be taken forward. For Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly SMP the Action Plan is a critical element, because there are various conditional policies for later epochs which need to be more firmly established in the future based on monitoring and investigation. The Action Plan can set the framework for an on-going shoreline management process in the coming years, with SMP3 in 5 to 10 years time as the next important milestone. This chapter therefore attempts to capture all intended actions necessary, on a policy unit by policy unit basis, to deliver the objectives at a local level. It should also help to prioritise FCRM medium and long-term planning budget lines. A number of the actions are representative of on-going commitments across the SMP area (for example to South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme). There are also actions that are representative of wide-scale intent of management, for example in relation to gaining a better understanding of the roles played by the various harbours and breakwaters located around the coast in terms of coast protection and sea defence.

  • Breeding Seabirds on the Isles of Scilly Vickie Heaney, Leigh Lock, Paul St Pierre and Andy Brown
    BB August 2008 22/7/08 12:26 Page 418 Important Bird Areas: Breeding seabirds on the Isles of Scilly Vickie Heaney, Leigh Lock, Paul St Pierre and Andy Brown Razorbills Alca torda Ren Hathway ABSTRACT The Isles of Scilly are long famous for attracting rare migrant birds, and much-visited in spring and autumn by those in search of them, but it is much less widely appreciated that the islands also support an outstanding and internationally important assemblage of breeding seabirds.We document the present status and distribution of seabirds on the islands, set populations in their regional, national and international contexts, and review recent and historical changes in numbers. In the light of some alarming population trends, we discuss the possible roles of persecution, disturbance, predation, habitat change, waste and fisheries management, climate change and pollution in bringing about these changes. Finally, we identify a range of actions that we believe will do much to improve the fortunes of the seabirds breeding in the archipelago. 418 © British Birds 101 • August 2008 • 418–438 BB August 2008 22/7/08 12:26 Page 419 Breeding seabirds on the Isles of Scilly he Isles of Scilly are situated some 45 km seabird interest, it is not surprising that many of to the west of the southwest tip of the the older county avifaunas refer to the presence TBritish mainland.
