With some of the finest cliff scenery and a range of coastal habitats, the RSPB Nature Reserve of Ramsey Island has a spell-binding quality. Four thousand years of history, mythology and religious pilgrimage add a human interest to its physical character. Peregrines, choughs and ravens nest on the cliffs. Flowers carpet the sheltered slopes in pink, blue and yellow. Guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes and fulmars colonise the ledges. The Atlantic grey seal colony on Ramsey is the most significant breeding population in southern Britain. The resident porpoises can be seen feeding daily in Ramsey Sound.
