Description
The main attraction of Stack Rocks is the sea bird colony best viewed from May to early July when thousands of Langvía crowd on to the Stacks to breed together with smaller numbers of Álka, Toppskarfur and Rita. Bjargkorpungur are regular here as are Förufálki. In the spring and summer Steindepill are common on the rocky grassland of the clifftops. In the winter a walk eastwards towards St Govans may produce Smyrill, possibly Bláheiðir and good flocks of Heiðlóa. Offshore the occasional Diver is possible.
