Over the years tidal erosion has weathered these layers of rock to develop this animal like formation. You may need a boat to see it at its best. Or wait until equinox tides as the causeway (Rack) is covered nearly all the time.
When I visited seagulls were still nesting, with some chicks scurrying about.
check out nearby geocache for logs of successful visitors.
