Welcome home EB52672 and EB52673. After 7 months apart, travelling to and from the coast of Argentina, this pair of Manx shearwaters are back in the exact same nest box as 2016 - they were first time breeders last year and successfully raised a chick. Fingers crossed for another good year
Our 2016 survey showed a further increase in numbers of this nocturnal species as it continues to respond well to rat eradication in 1999/2000 - our population now stands at 4,796 pairs making it the most numerous breeding bird on Ramsey!
