The island is now closed for the winter and will reopen on 1 April 2012. See you then!

Top things to do in Spring

  1. See the seabirds nesting on the island's 120 metre-high cliffs: guillemots, razorbills, kttiwakes and fulmars
  2. Look for choughs visiting their cave nest sites around the island's coastline
  3. Walk the trail and experience the spring flowers, including bluebells and spring squills

Top things to do in Summer

  1. Look for families of choughs as they feed along the cliff tops
  2. Look for young peregrines as they learn to fly and hunt with their parents
  3. Enjoy the dramatic scenery in the summer sunshine

Top things to do in Autumn

  1. See and smell the maritime heathland in flower
  2. See grey seal pups on the island's beaches
  3. Look for migrant birds in the valleys and see thousands of birds passing the island's coast as they head south for winter
