Thank you for sharing your sightings

Thank you for sharing your sightings of Scilly's most iconic shorebird. The map below shows all of our sightings so far. We'll be taking all of this data, combining it with our own breeding seabird survey and using this protect our precious oystercatchers into the future.

If you love Scilly's shorebirds and want to do more to protect them, please donate to Save our Shorebirds. Money raised through our summer appeal will go towards protecting Scilly's most vulnerable breeding birds, like oystercatchers and ringed plovers, which nest around the islands. Our ranger team have worked with the local island communities, businesses and young people to identify and protect nests where possible, and we're asking people to keep dogs on leads near to nesting birds and young chicks. But we can do more with your help. Donate now to protect our special shorebirds.
