Good morning. I'm Ayshah. Here with your Monday headlines. Coming up... | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Waiters take to the streets for an extraordinary race. And Tom Daley | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
plunges into action at the Diving World Series. This is Newsround. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
First this morning to a story involving a shipwreck, a rat | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
invasion and one of our favourite sea birds. Puffins. In a tiny island | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
off the coast of West Wales, they've come up with some unusual ways to | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
trick and bring the sea birds back to the shore. We sent Nel to find | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
out more. This is Ramsey Island. One of the | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
tiny islands off the Pembrokeshire coast. It's got some of the most | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
beautiful coastal scenery in Wales. And it is a brilliant place to spot | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
some sea birds off the top of those cliffs. One sea bird that is hard to | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
find here right now is the puffin. That wasn't always the story. Up | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
until the late 1800s, thousands of puffins lived and bred happily on | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
the island. But all that stopped when the rats arrived. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
It all started with a shipwreck. The rats on-board abandoned ship. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Puffins live in burrows, which may it easy for the rats to sneak into | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
eat their eggs. So the puffins left. Now the rats have all gone. But how | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
do you get the puffins back? Well, for the last four years, | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
conservation groups have been working on it. And they've got some | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
pretty interesting ideas. With these fake puffins, made of plastic. The | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
idea was that birds on the water would see these, think there is a | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
busy puffin colony up there, "I'm going up". Unfortunately, that | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
didn't work. We came across some colleagues in Northern Ireland who | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
had speaker systems. Puffins that are out there on the water will | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
hopefully hear it and come ashore. Why is it important to get puffins | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
back on Ramsey Island? Well, they always used to be here. So it would | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
be good to get them back. They are not doing that well in the rest of | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
the UK. So it's important to have another site where puffins can breed | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
successfully. So far today, these are the only puffins that I've seen. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
However, there is hope. A few have been spotted on those clips behind | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
me. But there is no quick fix. And it will take a few years before we | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
see a fully fledged puffin population on Ramsey Island. | :02:35. | :02:44. | |
Thanks, Nel. Manchester City are back in the title race after beating | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Crystal Palace 2-0 yesterday. The Blues are now in the driving seat | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea. Edin Dzeko's header put | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
City into an early lead before Yaya Toure curled a second from 15 yards. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Third-placed City have a game in hand over both Liverpool and | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
second-placed Chelsea and a better goal difference. | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
You might think these pictures are right out of a fairy tale. Well, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
they're actually part of a sand sculpture festival at | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Weston-super-Mare. The theme is exactly that. BBC weather expert, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Carol Kirkwood, is there this morning. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
I'm in Weston-super-Mare at the Sand Sculpture Festival. And with me is | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the coordinator and a sculptor herself, Nicola Woods. There are | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
some amazing things here. Tell us a bit about this one. This is the | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
Alice in Wonderland, mad Hatter's tea party, someone coming from | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Holland to make this in eight days. In need some repairs, but is | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
otherwise great. Eight days is incredible. How do you do it? The | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
secret is in preparation, we compound the sand, to make it | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
tight, then work on detail as we go. How do they cope with the weather? | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
They are surprisingly robust, but we do get some surface damage, and we | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
have sculptors on-site the time. We have some high ones, including this | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
one, tell us about this one. It is around eight metres high, although | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
we lost about one metre of the top, it is related to the Grimm brothers | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
be details, all in there for the kids to find. Those look great. And | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
finally, hundreds of waiters and waitresses from all over Argentina | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
have taken part in a race which involved carrying a tray full of | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
drinks. The event has been held in cities around the world for over | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
half a century. But it is the first time it's taken place in the | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Argentinian capital. That's all from me. Ricky's back this afternoon | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
right here | :05:02. | :05:02. |
