Egg Is.

Fran and I recently accompanied the marine team to Egg Island to count "Madeiran" storm petrels at dusk (actually there may be two species of storm petrel here, with different breeding seasons and calls - but they look very similar). We had a rare opportunity to land on the island and scramble up its bare slopes to a cannon battery and on to the summit.
