Beschrijving

Staffa is an island of the Inner Hebrides in Scotland. Staffa lies about 10 kilometres west of the Isle of Mull. Its area is 33 hectares and the highest point is 42 metres. The island is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. Staffa is nationally important for breeding Noordse Stormvogel, Kuifaalscholver and Papegaaiduiker. Different species of gulls and Grote Jager also nest on the island. The surrounding waters provide a livelihood for numerous seabirds, grey seals, dolphins, basking sharks, minke, and pilot whales. You can get very close to the Papegaaiduiker, and many other seabirds can be seen on the boattrip to the island.
