Staycation activities ‘not always appropriate’
A local naturalist says increased interest in Manx wildlife is welcome, but warns the public must be careful ‘not to spoil it’.
With options for travel restricted by COVID-19, holidaymakers have opted for ‘staycations’, with more people seeking to enjoy the Island’s natural heritage.
Tim Earl is an international wildlife tour operator and lecturer.
He says though the increased interest is positive, activities which could disturb ecosystems aren’t always appropriate:

Temporary ambulance station established at Castletown Coastguard Station
Owners advised to keep pets out of river
Nearly £165k spent on AI subscriptions
Investigation underway into fire station blaze
