Grassholm is a small uninhabited island off the southwestern Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. This tiny island is home to one of the largest colonies of gannets. During the breeding season, from April to September, some 39,000 pairs of birds nest on the northern side of the island.
Consequently, this side of the island is covered with a thick layer of bird droppings, also known as guano, giving Grassholm its characteristic off-white color. From afar, the island looks very much like a bun sitting on the ocean with icing sugar on top.
