People on the Isle of Man have been encouraged to join organised beach cleans ahead of nesting season to help to protect chicks from plastic pollution.

Beach Buddies founder Bill Dale said volunteers would concentrate their efforts on beaches "where thousands of seabirds lay their eggs each year".

He said evidence suggested rubbish left on the beach could be "mistaken by birds for food, which can then be fed to their chicks".
