The area is a key nesting site for seabirds like puffins, razorbills, and guillemots. Beyond birds, the reserve supports a variety of other wildlife, including numerous invertebrates, such as butterflies, moths, and coastal beetles. Its rocky outcrops and coastal grasslands also host a range of mosses and lichens. The headland, part of the Berry Head Nature Reserve, covers 40 hectares, offering a haven for both plant and animal species.
