The nature reserve at the Mull of Galloway, Drummore is one of the RSPB's smallest, yet it contains an amazing variety of wildlife. On a small circular walk it is possible to see an incredible variety of species.
The Mull consits of three types of habitat: lichen-covered cliffs, rough grassland and maritime heath. This is one of the few remnants of the natural habitat that used to cover much of the Galloway coast.
The reserve has the largest mainland seabird colony in the region, where cliffs provide ledges for nesting Guillemots, huddling together, with some Razorbills mixed among them. Shags also nest in numbers scattered throughout the other birds, which include a small number of Puffins.
Some of the butterflies that can be found in the area are restricted to the mild southern coastline of Scotland, notably the Wall Brown and the Grayling. Migrant Clouded Yellows have been recorded regularly |
