"Located about 200 km southwest of St. John's, Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve also known as 'the Cape' is one of Newfoundland and Labrador's major seabird colonies." During the breeding season it hosts 30,000 Northern gannets, 20,000 black-legged kittiwakes, 20,000 common murres, and 2,000 thick-billed murres. "Most of the Northern gannets, for example, make their nests on 'Bird Rock' — a 100-metre-tall stack of sandstone that is separated from the viewing area by a chasm only a few metres wide." source

“A grin though going back on Saturday, always enough fish, it's Cape St. Mary's. A grin in my lapel and, make no mistake, glad to be back to civilization one mile up the road.”
