IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2014 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List¹	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica	VU	breeding	2008	360,000 mature individuals	A4ii, B1ii, B2
Razorbill Alca torda	LC	breeding	2008	10,000 mature individuals	A4ii, B1ii, B3
A4iii Species group - seabirds	n/a	breeding	2008	370,000 mature individuals	A4iii

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2014) may differ.
