Description

The Cap Sizun Reserve covers a coastal strip of jagged, granite cliffs which are up to 70 metres high. Among the ocean-going sea birds which visit the reserve are Ride and Lomvie. Coastal species include Topskarv, Sildemåge and Svartbag. The heathland, coastal grassland and cliffs are the all year round home of other birds including Ravn, Alpekrage and Vandrefalk,

It is very easy here to get close to breeding Mallemuk, Lomvie and Ride without disturbing them.
