At Stony point three species of cormorant; the Crowned cormorant, Cape cormorant and Bank cormorant, all of which breed on the outer rocks. There are also Hartlaub’s Gulls and Kelp Gulls which forage in the colony, while the Rock Hyrax, more commonly known as the Dassie, can be seen on the surrounding rocks.

The colony lies on the site of the old Waaygat Whaling Station, which was used to harvest and process whale meat in the early to mid 1900s. Remnants of the infrastructure for this long-defunct industry can still be found at the site.

Do not disturb the birds, they don't like it, Esp. not the pesky seagulls

Great to watch. Living further inland, as we do, it's not often we get out to the coast.

Beautiful spot.

Beautiful footage Droffac.

Glad to bring the sea to you to see.
I live 1Km from the sea, so I see the sea when I look out of my window

Yep. The birds are jealous of other flying objects

It is said that, wherever you might go in the UK you're never more than 70 miles from a coast.

The nearest point for us is about 50 miles west, but the estuary stretches another ten miles inland, bringing salt water to within 40 miles or so of our door, as the drone flies
