| 词条 | Mullion Island |
| 释义 |
The island was formed 350 million years ago, in a fashion similar to the mid-Atlantic ridge today, where lava flows from a split in the earth's crust, and cools rapidly to form large lumps known as pillow lava.[2] Mullion Island was formed by a separate (later) volcanic episode than the nearby Lizard complex rocks.[3] The soil is highly manured by bird droppngs, rich in nitrogen and phosphate, and sea beet (Beta vulgaris subsp maritima) and tree mallow (Lavatera arborea) are the dominant plants.[4] Great black-backed gull (Larus marinus) breed on the island, along with common guillemot (Uria aalge), Eurasian oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) and possibly razorbill (Alca torda). European shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) and great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) were also on the island during a visit by West Cornwall Ringing Group on 16 June 2015.[5] Before the First World War the Mullion pilchard seine companies posted a huer (a lookout) on the island to watch for the dark patch of a nearby shoal of pilchards.[6] The island was previously owned by the Robartes of Lanhydrock[7] who sold it to the Meyer family during the 1920s. The Meyers gave it to the National Trust in 1945.[8] References1. ^The Channel Pilot: Part 1 (Hydrographic Dept., 1893), p. 79 {{Cornwall-geo-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Bates|first1=Robin|last2=Scolding|first2=Bill|title=Beneath the Skin of The Lizard|date=2000|publisher=Serpentine Design|location=Cadgwith|isbn=1 898166 09 9}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Mullion Cliff to Predannack Cliff|url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1004096.pdf|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=3 November 2011|year=1993}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=A Natural History of the Lizard Peninsula|last1=Lawman|first1=Jean|date=1994|publisher=Institute of Cornish Studies and Dyllansow Truran|year=|isbn=1-85022-071-9|location=Redruth and Truro|pages=}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Grantham|first1=Mark|title=16th June 2015 Ringing marathon|url=http://cornishringing.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/ringing-marathon.html|website=West Cornwall Ringing Group|accessdate=18 June 2015}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Simper|first1=Robert|title=The Lugger Coast|date=2003|publisher=Laversham Press Ltd|location=Laversham|isbn=0 9538506 4 1|page=21}} 7. ^Joseph Polsue, A Complete Parochial History of the County of Cornwall, vol. 3 (William Lake, 1870) p. 386 8. ^{{cite book|last=Felce|first=Robert|title=The History of Mullion Cove|year=2012|publisher=Westcountry Printing and Publishing|location=Mullion}} 3 : Lizard Peninsula|Uninhabited islands of Cornwall|National Trust properties in Cornwall |
