Star species

Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.

Chough

Watch for choughs flying along the cliffs. Check any areas of short-turf for feeding flocks - including family parties in summer.

Guillemot

Large numbers of breeding guillemots line up on the cliff ledges from late winter until July.

Peregrine

These dashing raptors nest on the island's cliffs. Watch for them cruising along the cliffs and scan carefully to try to spot one on its favourite perch.

Raven

Ravens nest on the cliffs. You can see their plummeting display flights from late winter, through the spring and hear their gruff, ringing 'kronk' calls throughout the year here.

Razorbill

Razorbills can be seen bringing up their chicks on the cliffs along with the guillemots.
