Parts of this area, especially near the cliff edges, would probably be harder to explore during the gull nesting season because, from my experience and  during the visit to Flat Holm, the gulls can become quite aggressive ,and en masse, if you get too close to their nesting areas which tend to be scruffily arranged and precarious. So I was lucky on this day to climb down as far as I could during this visit to Steep Holm ,and because all the gulls had left the Island.It was so quiet compared to the Flat Holm Visit in May 2012.There is so much history, archaeology and geology here to find and enjoy..I definately want to come over from WSM for more visits--the archaeologists even said I could help out on a dig--they are looking for Neolithic evidence of a large ceremonial hole on the very top of the Island.
