Just sent rat rope guards to businesses operating around Coquet & The Farne Islands. Thanks Root Studio for the eye-catching design. These guards should stop rats boarding boats along mooring lines, whilst raising awareness about #biosecurity. Can't wait to see photos in situ!

Although weasel are native and widespread on the mainland, they are absent from most islands. It is great to see such a speedy response from Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust to reported sightings of one on the Isles of Scilly, hopefully it turns out to be a false alarm... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Biosecurity for LIFE paved the way for biosecurity on UK seabird islands, helping keep our seabirds safe from invasive predators. Biosecurity for Wales, Biosecurity for England, & Biosecurity for Scotland continue its legacy. Thank you & Happy Birthday LIFE Programme #lifeis33

Puffins vs Brown Rats = not a fair fight! Our seabirds had evolved their breeding strategies long before rats arrived in the UK, they have no natural defence against rats. Seabirds need these islands to remain rat-free to survive, rats can and will thrive almost anywhere!

"Shipwrecks" still happen relatively frequently with 9 affecting the UK's internationally important seabird islands since 2018, including the recent one off Lundy. Rats can squeeze through a 12mm hole so are very good at stowing away on boats-always be vigilant for signs

Good weather has allowed the team to get out to some of our lesser visited isles. Doing surveillance checks on the Flannans and the Shiants we are pleased to say they didn’t see signs of any #INNS #biosecurityforscotland #naturerestorationfund @naturescot @scotgovnetzero
