Recently Rachel & Reid have carried out routine rat surveillance checks on the #Farnes before the #seabirds settle & Karen has delivered rodenticide handler training to Northeast volunteers so they're ready should a rat ever reach the Farnes or #Coquet. #Biosecurity helps protect #islands & seabirds

Sad to miss #Coquet & the #Farnes this week, but already re-scheduling #biosecurity trips for the New Year. It's really important we continue to protect these tern colonies from arrival of invasive predators, so Arctic Tern arriving back from the Antarctic in the spring have a safe place to nest.
Night, night…
