In the last three years Поморник короткохвостий, Поморник великий, Поморник середній, Качурка морська, Качурка північна, Буревісник сивий, Balearic Shearwater and Люрик have all been seen in Autumn/Early Winter (Northerly onshore winds are best). The site has a very long list of birds, some of which are Чистун арктичний, Турпан, Гагара червоношия, Гагара чорношия, Гагара полярна, Синьга, Гоголь зеленоголовий, Кульон великий, Побережник ісландський, Побережник білий and Грицик великий.
