:00:00. > :00:11.Good morning. I'm Ayshah. Here with your Monday headlines. Coming up...

:00:12. > :00:18.Waiters take to the streets for an extraordinary race. And Tom Daley

:00:19. > :00:27.plunges into action at the Diving World Series. This is Newsround.

:00:28. > :00:30.First this morning to a story involving a shipwreck, a rat

:00:31. > :00:35.invasion and one of our favourite sea birds. Puffins. In a tiny island

:00:36. > :00:38.off the coast of West Wales, they've come up with some unusual ways to

:00:39. > :00:41.trick and bring the sea birds back to the shore. We sent Nel to find

:00:42. > :00:45.out more. This is Ramsey Island. One of the

:00:46. > :00:48.tiny islands off the Pembrokeshire coast. It's got some of the most

:00:49. > :00:52.beautiful coastal scenery in Wales. And it is a brilliant place to spot

:00:53. > :01:01.some sea birds off the top of those cliffs. One sea bird that is hard to

:01:02. > :01:05.find here right now is the puffin. That wasn't always the story. Up

:01:06. > :01:09.until the late 1800s, thousands of puffins lived and bred happily on

:01:10. > :01:14.the island. But all that stopped when the rats arrived.

:01:15. > :01:17.It all started with a shipwreck. The rats on-board abandoned ship.

:01:18. > :01:24.Puffins live in burrows, which may it easy for the rats to sneak into

:01:25. > :01:30.eat their eggs. So the puffins left. Now the rats have all gone. But how

:01:31. > :01:33.do you get the puffins back? Well, for the last four years,

:01:34. > :01:36.conservation groups have been working on it. And they've got some

:01:37. > :01:40.pretty interesting ideas. With these fake puffins, made of plastic. The

:01:41. > :01:44.idea was that birds on the water would see these, think there is a

:01:45. > :01:47.busy puffin colony up there, "I'm going up". Unfortunately, that

:01:48. > :01:54.didn't work. We came across some colleagues in Northern Ireland who

:01:55. > :01:59.had speaker systems. Puffins that are out there on the water will

:02:00. > :02:04.hopefully hear it and come ashore. Why is it important to get puffins

:02:05. > :02:09.back on Ramsey Island? Well, they always used to be here. So it would

:02:10. > :02:15.be good to get them back. They are not doing that well in the rest of

:02:16. > :02:19.the UK. So it's important to have another site where puffins can breed

:02:20. > :02:25.successfully. So far today, these are the only puffins that I've seen.

:02:26. > :02:31.However, there is hope. A few have been spotted on those clips behind

:02:32. > :02:34.me. But there is no quick fix. And it will take a few years before we

:02:35. > :02:44.see a fully fledged puffin population on Ramsey Island.

:02:45. > :02:47.Thanks, Nel. Manchester City are back in the title race after beating

:02:48. > :02:51.Crystal Palace 2-0 yesterday. The Blues are now in the driving seat

:02:52. > :02:54.following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea. Edin Dzeko's header put

:02:55. > :02:57.City into an early lead before Yaya Toure curled a second from 15 yards.

:02:58. > :03:00.Third-placed City have a game in hand over both Liverpool and

:03:01. > :03:07.second-placed Chelsea and a better goal difference.

:03:08. > :03:10.You might think these pictures are right out of a fairy tale. Well,

:03:11. > :03:12.they're actually part of a sand sculpture festival at

:03:13. > :03:15.Weston-super-Mare. The theme is exactly that. BBC weather expert,

:03:16. > :03:17.Carol Kirkwood, is there this morning.

:03:18. > :03:21.I'm in Weston-super-Mare at the Sand Sculpture Festival. And with me is

:03:22. > :03:28.the coordinator and a sculptor herself, Nicola Woods. There are

:03:29. > :03:37.some amazing things here. Tell us a bit about this one. This is the

:03:38. > :03:41.Alice in Wonderland, mad Hatter's tea party, someone coming from

:03:42. > :03:48.Holland to make this in eight days. In need some repairs, but is

:03:49. > :03:56.otherwise great. Eight days is incredible. How do you do it? The

:03:57. > :04:03.secret is in preparation, we compound the sand, to make it

:04:04. > :04:10.tight, then work on detail as we go. How do they cope with the weather?

:04:11. > :04:18.They are surprisingly robust, but we do get some surface damage, and we

:04:19. > :04:26.have sculptors on-site the time. We have some high ones, including this

:04:27. > :04:32.one, tell us about this one. It is around eight metres high, although

:04:33. > :04:36.we lost about one metre of the top, it is related to the Grimm brothers

:04:37. > :04:45.be details, all in there for the kids to find. Those look great. And

:04:46. > :04:49.finally, hundreds of waiters and waitresses from all over Argentina

:04:50. > :04:52.have taken part in a race which involved carrying a tray full of

:04:53. > :04:56.drinks. The event has been held in cities around the world for over

:04:57. > :04:59.half a century. But it is the first time it's taken place in the

:05:00. > :05:01.Argentinian capital. That's all from me. Ricky's back this afternoon

:05:02. > :05:02.right here
