Puffins leave mid July so not much wildlife to see thereafter
RSPB Rathlin West Light Seabird Centre的点评
点评：RSPB NI staff and volunteers are on hand here to welcome visitors and they have binoculars and telescopes for visitors’ use.
One needs a fair level of stamina to go exploring here. There’s a strong sea breeze to battle against, rapidly changing weather and there’s an 89 step descent to the viewing platform, or 164 steps to the bottom of the lighthouse.
The island population totals 75 people and there’s no medical or emergency services.
The puffins are the main attraction for Centre visitors but they had beggared off long before we got to this island. All puffin species have predominantly black or black and white plumage, a stocky build, and large beaks that get brightly coloured during breeding season.
They shed the colorful outer parts of their bills after breeding season, leaving a smaller and duller beak. Their short wings are adapted for swimming with a flying technique underwater. In the air, they beat their wings rapidly (up to 400 times per minute) in swift flight, often flying low over the ocean's surface.
These birds spend most of their lives at sea. They only visit sites like Rathlin for the brief summer breeding season.
The seabirds start leaving the island to head back to sea from mid -July. The razorbills and guillemots go first, quickly followed by the puffins. The kittiwakes and fulmars will remain for most of August. We did spot a few kittiwakes.
The Society has a token admission charge to the Seabird Centre for non-members. Currently (August 2024) adults £5, children £2.50.

需要相当的耐力才能在这里探索。这里有强烈的海风，天气变化迅速，到观景台需要走 89 级台阶，到灯塔底部需要走 164 级台阶。
岛上人口总数为 75 人，没有医疗或紧急服务。
海鹦是中心游客的主要景点，但在我们到达这个岛之前，它们就已经消失了。所有种类的海鹦都以黑色或黑白相间的羽毛为主，体型粗壮，喙很大，在繁殖季节会变得色彩鲜艳。
它们在繁殖季节后会脱落喙上色彩鲜艳的外部部分，留下更小更暗的喙。它们的短翼适合在水下以飞行技巧游泳。在空中，它们快速地拍打翅膀（每分钟最多 400 次），经常低空飞过海面。
这些鸟一生大部分时间都在海上度过。它们只在短暂的夏季繁殖季节造访拉斯林等地。
海鸟从 7 月中旬开始离开岛屿返回大海。刀嘴海雀和海鸠最先离开，海鹦紧随其后。三趾鸥和暴风鹱将在 8 月的大部分时间里留在这里。我们确实发现了几只三趾鸥。
该协会对非会员的海鸟中心收取象征性的入场费。目前（2024 年 8 月）成人 5 英镑，儿童 2.50 英镑。
