Description
The island of Flat Holm has a significant breeding colony of over 4,000 pairs of Sílamáfur, 400 pairs of Silfurmáfur, two pairs of Svartbakur and varying numbers of Tjaldur and Brandönd. The south of the island is undermanaged and mainly used for the large population of Sílamáfur, 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.
