Catch up on our seabird conversation with BBC Radio Devon's John Acres. We explore why Lundy's seabird colonies are doing so well, in fact their recovery has been so incredible over the last 20 years that the island now supports 95% of England's breeding Manx Shearwaters!

Listen here on BBC Sounds.

We are very proud that over 40,000 seabirds – the highest number since the 1930s – now call Lundy home. As one of England’s largest seabird colonies, Lundy now supports 95% of England's breeding Manx Shearwaters, with some 25,000 individuals, along with 1,335 Puffins and over 150 pairs of breeding Storm Petrels, a species first confirmed as breeding on the island in 2014 following conservation efforts.
