Description
The main attraction of Stack Rocks is the sea bird colony best viewed from May to early July when thousands of etelänkiisla crowd on to the Stacks to breed together with smaller numbers of ruokki, karimetso and pikkukajava. alppivaris are regular here as are muuttohaukka. In the spring and summer kivitasku are common on the rocky grassland of the clifftops. In the winter a walk eastwards towards St Govans may produce ampuhaukka, possibly sinisuohaukka and good flocks of kapustarinta. Offshore the occasional Diver is possible.
