Drone operators are being urged to be 'mindful' ahead of the nesting season.
That's the message from DEFA, The Manx Wildlife Trust and Manx birdlife.
It follows reports of drones being flown near seabirds resting and settling on cliffs and shores, causing them to flee.
DEFA says seabirds and water birds are very vulnerable and disruption causes them stress and can prevent them from settling.
