Round Island Light, Isles of Scilly nests of Manx shearwater ("Puffinus puffinus"). Permission is needed from Trinity House to land on the island and only two botanists are known to have visited. The first, J. E. Lousley, in 1957, only recorded the invasive Hottentot fig ("Carpobrotus edulis"). Thirty years later, in 1987, Rosemary Parslow found much of the ground between the buildings and the cliff edge was covered in a carpet of purple dewplant ("Disphyma crassifolium") and Hottentot fig. She also recorded a small number of the expected coastal species. They were sea spleenwort ("Asplenium marinum"), bird's–foot trefoil ("Lotus corniculatus"), spear–leaved orache ("Atriplex prostrata"), sea beet

The 680-hectare Barton Point Nature Reserve was identified as an Important Bird Area for its large breeding colony of red-footed boobies. The island hosts introduced bird species from many regions, including cattle egrets ("Bubulcus ibis"), Indian barred ground dove, also called the zebra dove ("Geopelia striata"), turtle dove ("Nesoenas picturata"), Indian mynah ("Acridotheres tristis"), Madagascar fody ("Foudia madagascariensis"), and chickens ("Gallus gallus").
