A colony of sand martins lives here, which build their 30-70 cm deep nesting holes up in the cliff during the breeding season from May to July. They hunt for insects close to the water or up on the cliffs, which they find here in large numbers.
From October onwards they move to their winter quarters in Central Africa.
