Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, May 2011. Liam McFaul: H.M. Coastguard, Search & Rescue, RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), Farmer. Rathlin Island with about 100 inhabitants, lying off Antrim's Causeway Coast, boasts Northern Ireland's largest seabird colony and panoramic coastal views. It has a rare, untamed beauty of green hills covered in yellow gorse and dark rising cliffs . The wildlife is evident before you step ashore: seals, guillemot, razorbill, kittiwake and puffins are a common sight.The RSPB recently opened a Seabird Centre for visitors on the island. For decades travellers stayed away from the sectarian violence, but since the end of'The Troubles' more and more people start discoving the beauty of Belfast and the Antrim Coast Causeway.
