Coquet Island off the Northumberland coast is among the internationally important seabird habitats set to benefit from new funding.

The government has announced £156,000 to protect England’s island seabird populations against the threat of invasive predators.

This is one of the first instances globally of a central government providing funding to protect seabird islands against these specific threats.

Coquet Island is the only breeding place in the UK for Roseate terns which are a red listed species.
