Once wild, now very developed island in far south-east Hampshire. Some patches of good habitat remain, especially at Sandy Point, Black Point, Sinah Warren and Gunner Point (a great site for Green-winged Orchid).

Primarily of interest for wintering seabirds (including auks, divers and rare grebes) and waders (the best Hampshire site for Sanderling), but also excellent for spring and autumn seabird and passerine passage. Recent rarities have included Yellow-browed Warbler, Hoopoe, Sabine's Gull and Desert Wheatear (co-found by Simon!), the latter in November 2005. A very confiding Snow Bunting was a welcome visitor in winter 2005/6.
