St Helen's, Isles of Scilly of kittiwake ("Rissa tridactyla") on the eastern cliffs, while Parslow (2007) records a large colony of lesser black-backed gull ("Larus fuscus") and a small colony of puffin ("Fratercula arctica"). The Seabird 2000 breeding seabird survey recorded five occupied nests of Manx shearwater ("Puffinus puffinus"). Foreman's Island () is a low-lying island on the south side of St Helen's Pool between Teän and Tresco. It is one of a group of rocks and islets of importance for breeding seabirds. The common froghopper ("Philaenus spumarius") has been recorded on Foreman's. Men-a-vaur () is to the north-west of St Helen's and consists of
Wedge-tailed shearwater (in common with the other shearwaters) as an adaptation for swimming. This species is related to the pan-Pacific Buller's shearwater, which differs much in colour pattern, but also has a wedge tail and a thin black bill. They make up the "Thyellodroma" group, a superspecies of the large shearwaters that were for a long time included in the genus "Puffinus". Wedge-tailed shearwaters feed pelagically on fish, squid and crustaceans. Their diet is 66% fish, of which the most commonly taken is goatfish. It was thought that the species mostly took food from surface feeding, observations of feeding wedge-tails suggested that
