Ever wondered what it would be like to be a rat dropping on an island waiting to be discovered by Jinx the Conservation Detection Dog? Wonder no more! We delivered some biosecurity equipment to Flat holm earlier this month and Greg and Jinx performed their routine check of the island

If you discover an invasive predator on your boat, never throw it overboard - many are very good swimmers & can travel even further if they find debris to drift on. We recommend returning to a mainland harbour & deploying appropriate control measures:
