Bradda Head Nature Trail - Information Point Number 11
Information Point Number 11
On the lower side of the path, Burnet Rose - Rosa spinosissima - is growing. It has a pale cream flower in summer. Honeysuckle, Tor Grass, Wood False-Broom
Sea-birds abound along the cliffs, together with the Jackdaw and the Starling, which have adapted to man-made cliffs - houses. Watch for the Herring Gulls and their young ones, with their brown-coloured feathers. Old laws protected them and their eggs. This was because of their ability to lead fishermen to the Herring shoals, and they cleaned the beaches of herring guts.
Watch for the ‘jinny-divers’ (Cormorant (Larger) and Shag (smaller)) - they can swim a considerable distance under water. Eider, Fulmar
