Conservation group sniffs out detector dog to save red-listed seabirds on Rathlin Island

Two-year-old Woody training ahead of his first day on the job.

Two-year-old detector dog Woody began a new mission on Wednesday — saving seabirds on Rathlin Island.

Following months of training, the Fox Red Labrador has arrived on the island and is ready to start sniffing out ferrets that have been wreaking havoc on seabird populations.
