Description
The island of Flat Holm has a significant breeding colony of over 4,000 pairs of Lesser Black-backed Gull, 400 pairs of European Herring Gull, two pairs of Great Black-backed Gull and varying numbers of Eurasian Oystercatcher and Common Shelduck. The south of the island is undermanaged and mainly used for the large population of Lesser Black-backed Gull, while the rest the island is managed to help the population of slow worms and other rare wildlife. The island has many cliff faces and beaches where the more scarcer birds can be found.
