One of the rare places in which European shag nest, the island is home to over 300 birds.
Even though entrances to the island have been prohibited in a bid to protect the ecosystem, sailors used it as a shelter and warehouse back in the day.
Hoynat has been declared an “important bird area” due to its high potential in birdwatching.
