Beschrijving

The cliffs at the Bullers provide a nesting site in spring for colonies of seabirds, including Drieteenmeeuw, Papegaaiduiker, Noordse Stormvogel, Kuifaalscholver, Alk and Zeekoet along with Zilvermeeuw and Grote Mantelmeeuw. Eider may also be seen here, and Jan-van-gent are frequently seen passing en route to their colonies north at Troup Head and south at Bass Rock. Grey seals may be seen in the bay, and dolphins are often seen passing by offshore.
