The island is rat-free and there is a breeding population of South Georgia Pipits here, along with wandering albatrosses and giant petrels.

This is in addition to several hundred thousand other birds, including Gentoo Penguins, South Georgia Pintails and South Georgia Pipits.

The South Georgia Pipit (Anthus antarcticus) is a sparrow sized bird, only found on the South Georgia archipelago.

These include two endemic species: a race of the Yellow-billed Pintail duck(Anas georgica) and South Georgia Pipit (Anthus antarcticus).
