Descrizione
Lying less than 1km off the east coast of Mainland, Shetland, the small and low-lying island of Mousa consists of rough grassland and heath with small areas of marsh, in addition to some small lochs and tidal pools.
There is a large Uccello delle tempeste colony on Mousa numbering more than 6000 pairs many of which breed in and around the ancient stone walls. Other breeding seabirds include Fulmaro, Stercorario maggiore and Labbo, Marangone dal ciuffo, Uria nera and nationally important numbers of Sterna codalunga. The island also has breeding Edredone and a few waders. The pools may attract a few passage waders and in winter Moretta codona can be seen in good numbers. Re degli edredonihas been seen here with some regularity.

Accesso
Mousa can only be reached by boat from Leebitton on the south-east coast of Mainland, Shetland. Local boatmen arrange trips to the island including overnight stays, essential to see Uccello delle tempeste.
