Descrizione
The Monach Isles have been uninhabited since 1948. The largest islands are 2 km in length and total area at high tide 348 hectares. At low tide the 3 main islands are interconnected. In autumn up to 10,000 grey seals come ashore to pup and mate. Basking sharks and cetaceans occasionally pass by. The main vegetation is machair, a mix of grasses and 200 wildflower species growing on fertile calcareous shell sand.
In the absence of cliffs, Fulmaro breed on the sand dunes. Other breeders here are Piovanello pancianera, Pettegola, Pavoncella, Beccaccia di mare, Allodola, Pispola, Spioncello marino, Beccaccino, Sterna codalunga and Corriere grosso. There are no trees, so the herons breed in abandoned buildings. Voltapietre, Piovanello tridattilo, Falco pellegrino and Barbagianni are occasional visitors, and a large flock of Oca facciabianca spends the winter here.
