Listen to the interview with Nicola Saunders the wildlife warden as she explains more about the bird and animal life on Lundy:

The island is a granite outcrop measuring three-and-a-half miles by half-a-mile, and is situated 12 miles off the North Devon coast. At its highest level, Lundy rises to 400ft.

It's owned by the National Trust and managed by the Landmark Trust.

The seas surrounding Lundy are England's only statutory Marine Nature Reserve (MNR), which is managed by English Nature, while much of the island itself is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The island and the surrounding seas are protected because of the vast array of wildlife and marine life. In fact, Lundy has the finest diversity of any marine site in the UK.
