Description
The main attraction of Stack Rocks is the sea bird colony best viewed from May to early July when thousands of yaygın alk crowd on to the Stacks to breed together with smaller numbers of Usturagaga, Tepeli Karabatak and Karaayaklı martı. Kırmızıgagalı dağkargası are regular here as are Gök doðan. In the spring and summer Kuyrukkakan are common on the rocky grassland of the clifftops. In the winter a walk eastwards towards St Govans may produce Boz doğan, possibly Gökçe delice and good flocks of Altın yağmurcun. Offshore the occasional Diver is possible.
