'Greatest Gull' - Summer Exhibition 

IOS Steamship Office, St Mary's

Summer 2026

This exhibition by the IOS Museum, Five Islands Academy and IOS Wildlife Trust centres around the plight of the greater black-backed gull, and how this once hunted and hated predator is now on the Endangered Species Red List. 

The exhibition dives further into their lives, habitats and conservation.

 

Archival items such as taxidermy birds, antique collected eggs and early glass-plate photographs from the Museum's archive to explore changing attitudes to these gulls over time.
