MWT - Protect nesting birds

The Manx Wildlife Trust is reminding the public it's important to protect nesting birds at this time of year. 

Birds have started to look for and make nests in trees, hedgerows, buildings, cliffs, beaches, heathland and dunes. 

The Trust says Little Tern are starting to nest on Manx beaches, and are a declining species with only 2,000 nesting pairs left in the British Isles.

It's asked you keep dogs on leads, stay out of fenced areas and keep to well defined paths, moving to another area if birds seem agitated.
