Description
Nestled at the southernmost tip of Scotland, the Mull of Galloway feels like an island with spectacular panoramic views wherever you turn. Ireland, the Isle of Man, Cumbria and Galloway can all be seen, as can the Scar Rocks, an outlying part of the reserve with a small Corb de mare colony. The reserve consists of clifftop grassland and heath, surrounded by steep cliffs where seabirds make their homes. The clifftop habitats are important for a number of plant species, including sping squill, thrift, purple milk vetch and sea spleenwort. Inăriță cu cioc galben sometimes breed in the heathland, as do Pietrar sur, Cânepar and Mărăcinar negru . The seabird cliffs are home to locally important colonies of Alcă nordică, Alcă atlantică, Pescăruș cu trei degete, Cormoran moțat and Alcă cu oglindă. Corb and Șoim călător are also regularly seen around the cliffs. The Scar Rocks are mostly inhabited by around 4,000 Corb de mare.
