Spotlight on: Slow worms Slow worms are garden friends- they like slow-moving prey, and that means they eat slugs! They are also ovoviviparous, meaning the eggs hatch while they're still in the female's body, and so she ‘gives birth’ to live young.

Eradication of Rats (and other invasive non-native predators of eggs and chicks) on islands can play a big role in seabird recovery. Ensuring they don't get there in the first place is essential too, and far cheaper. It places a big onus on island managers for whom sustaining funding is a challenge
