Exploring a Tiny Island in the Irish Sea (The Calf of Man)
Рет қаралды 12,108
2 жыл бұрынThe small island of the Isle of Man is a beautiful place to live (and garden!) but despite its size, there are still wild places to visit, with very few people. Places where you can experience nature like nowhere else in Britain. This is our trip to the Calf of Man, an even tinier island off our south coast. You can only get there by boat, and it's home to seals, Loaghtan sheep, rabbits, and countless birds. It's an island nature reserve and in this video, you'll see its beauty and learn about its purpose.
If you'd like to visit the Calf of Man yourself, you can hire the same boat that took us across. Get in touch with Phil and Caroline of Isle of Man & Calf Boat Trips at bluerib at manx dot net

Hi, lovely video, spent weeks living there in the late 70s early 80s, Helped out at the observatory and as a local to Port St Mary spent most of my spare time in my own boat fishing along the coast that you travelled on. Miss the place so so much, thank you.

What a splendid film. I've been to the Calf three times. The first time I was almost the only person on the boat and the solitude was awesome. I will get back there one day and, maybe, finally realise my ambition to stay over. Is that Jane's House at the nine minute mark? I have a photo (a selfie before the days of selfies) of me inside Jane's House some time, I think, in the nineties when I lived n Ramsey for a while. I love the Calf. One of my favourite special places

Excellent video Tanya and the Isle of Man and Calf of Man certainly has good scenery to compete with some of the beautiful scenery in Scotland and I have walked up various mountains in Scotland when I was younger and would love to do it again.

The Island is like a miniature version of Great Britain when it comes to landscapes. Parts like Scotland, and parts like England and Wales. Just squished into a tiny little speck in the Irish Sea :)

I haven't been to the Calf for many, many years. When I went puffins still nested there and the cliff side was full of them. What I do remember were the flippin' midgies!

There were few while we were there but it had been very dry up until the day we arrived. Maybe that had something to do with it?
@catwoman7462 2 жыл бұрын
@@Lovelygreens Probably. I seem to remember the weather was a bit overcast and damp the day I went. I really must go for another trip. Since I last went I got really interested in bird watching so I'd probably appreciate it more now.

No bird likes to be caught, but Aron and the team are doing incredible work in bird conservation and education. Starling was perfectly fine when released :)
