Increasing levels of damage to wildlife on a protected part of the Anglesey coast have led to a new exclusion zone being introduced.

The RSPB, which leases an area of land known as the Range, close to South Stack lighthouse, has been given special powers to protect rare bird species and the environment.

While the coastal path remains open across the 1.8 mile (2.9 km) exclusion zone, temporary restrictions aim to curb the damage caused by growing numbers of people taking part in activities such as coasteering during bird breeding season.

"It's one of the most special and important places for habitats and species, in many cases internationally," explained Alun Prichard, director of RSPB Cymru.
