Description
The Île de Sein is a Breton island of less than two kilometers long in the Atlantic Ocean. The island is located eight kilometres from the mainland. It has only one village and a beautiful rocky coast. Due to its particular geographical location, it is a place of passage for all isolated and wandering birds which wander between 2 continents. Thus this tiny island is a hotspot for extreme vagrants from both east and west and recent records include Chestnut-sided Warbler, Northern Parula and Chestnut Bunting.

Français: Ile isolée du continent, l'Ile de Sein est, à l'image de celle d'Ouessant, un point d'aboutissement pour les oiseaux errants entre 2 continents. L'ile, par sa situation géographique particulière, est un lieu de passage pour tous les oiseaux isolés et errants qui vagabondent entre 2 continents. Ainsi il est possible d'y observer des espèces rares.
