Chris Packham relives programmes from The Living World archives.
Sitting as it does on the junction between the Firth of Forth and the North Sea, the Isle of May acts as a magnet for seabirds. During the breeding season it is home to thousands of birds, along with a small group of seabird ecologists.
In 1993 Lionel Kelleway visited the island for Living World to look at one species in particular, the shag. Here he was joined by Mike Harris and Sarah Wanlass from the Centre of Ecology and Hydrology. After arriving on the island, Sarah and Mike unfurl the up's and down's of seabird ecology.
