Bird Reserve
The RSPB maintains a reserve, which includes kittiwakes, fulmars, guillemots, razorbill, cormorant, puffin, shag and herring gull. It is the only breeding place in England for black guillemots. Several other birds are known to use this site regularly for breeding and these include the tawny owl, sparrowhawk, peregrine, raven and the rock pipit, which is known to breed in only one other site in Cumbria. There are observation stations on the North Head footpath.
