Short-eared Owls are often seen flying over moorland and young forestry plantations during the breeding season and there are some resident Tawny and Barn Owls. The list of small birds would seem endless, but would include Grasshopper Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Garden Warbler, Blackcap and Whitethroat. Brambling are seen in the winter feeding with large flocks of Chaffinch. There are a small number of Crossbill which are very localised. Hooded Crows are everywhere and flocks of Raven are often seen, particularly in early spring.
Jackdaws are common in some areas.
Wildlife expeditions with local experts are available on the island, picking up from either the ferry or from hotels. This is certainly the way to make the best of a wildlife visit and saves a lot of research and effort.
