Resident ornithologist admits staying wouldn't be fair on support workers
A long-serving warden on the Calf of Man says he is frustrated after the coronavirus threat led to the closure of the island's observatory.
Aron Sapsford and two fellow wardens, were just 18 days into a six-month season before the decision was made to have them recalled.
Mr Sapsford's role involves monitoring wildlife, namely the ringing of birds, and he's been the Calf's ornithological warden since the 80s.
Despite his frustrations, he says the decision is understandable:
53 babies born on Island in August
Help give Buddy the best chance of a comfortable future
Queen's Pier restoration project to move into phase three
Douglas Head granted conservation status
