Rathlin Island lies six miles off the north Antrim Causeway coast. From late April to early August the spectacular cliffs on the island are alive with thousands of seabirds. The colony is at its greatest density at the RSPB viewpoint on the West Lighthouse, clinging to the cliff face. This gives a truly unique vantage point from which to appreciate the sheer volume and intense activity of breeding puffins, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes and fulmars.
