Kittiwakes are medium-sized gulls with a gentle appearance. This seabird has a plush white head and body, their grey wings frosted with solid black as though dipped in ink. Its legs are pure black, and its beak is short and yellow.

The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust work closely with the Steamship Group to help visitors to Scilly learn more about the incredible natural environment of the islands and improve understanding of its unique wildlife and landscapes.

The Isles of Scilly are the smallest National Landscape (previous known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) designation in the UK. The Islands possess a diversity of scenery that belies their small scale. A management plan for the National Landscape is produced and reviewed by the Council of the Isles of Scilly. This plan is implemented by the National Landscape Partnership which is made up of organisations and individuals who work together to conserve and enhance the special qualities of the National Landscape.

The Isles of Scilly is home to some incredible wildlife, from grey seals to seabirds, unique plants and amazing rockpool creatures, some of which are found nowhere else in the UK.

There are currently over 40 members, mostly on the islands but some on the mainland. The Group is affiliated to the Bat Conservation Trust.

Scilly Billy clothing is designed on Scilly, locally printed by hand on feel-good fabrics like organic cotton and recycled materials as much as possible.
