Description
The beautiful cliff faces of this island form great locations for colonies of many different birds, including Red-billed Chough, Northern Fulmar, Razorbill, Manx Shearwater, Common Guillemot, Northern Gannet, Peregrine Falcon and Eurasian Kestrel, with grey seals populating some of the beaches. Many of these can be observed quite well from both the island itself or from the water. Other birds, such as Little Owl and Northern Wheatear, are also present on the island.
