Descripción
The Isle of May is located in the north of the outer Firth of Forth, approximately 8 km off the coast of mainland Scotland. It is 1.8 km long and less than half a kilometre wide. It is a very green island, with lots of cliffs, some idylic buildings. Although only around 57 hectares in size, over 285 bird species have been recorded on the island. The island is free from predators such as foxes and rats, and thus provides a safe breeding site compared to the mainland. At the height of the breeding season the Isle of May can host around 200,000 seabirds, including Frailecillo Atlántico, Gaviota Tridáctila, Alca Común, Arao Común, Cormorán Moñudo, Fulmar Boreal, Ostrero Euroasiático, Éider común and various species of tern and gull. The best months for seeing the breeding seabirds are June and July. Ferries run to the Isle of May from April through to September.
