Beskrivning

Bardsey is a small island, 180 hectares in size, situated off the Llŷn Peninsula at the north-western tip of Wales, famous as the site of a bird observatory and also as the ancient burial ground of thousands of saints. The island is a privately owned nature reserve and consists mainly of grassland fringed by rocky cliffs. The southern tip of the island is a peninsula with a lighthouse, linked to the main part by a narrow isthmus and the highest point is over 160m.

Bardsey is a National Nature Reserve. The Bardsey Bird and Field Observatory was established in 1953 and it is the only accredited bird observatory in Wales.. It is a rich place for both migrating and nesting birds. April to early June and late August to late October are the best times to visit to see migrants. Some of the nice birds you can see here are stormfågel, mindre lira, grålira, smålom, havssula, lunnefågel, strandskata and alpkråka.
