Removal of the Skerries

The Skerries were previously listed at no 11 in terms of size but accompanied by this text: * The figure for The Skerries is the total of several islands which are separated from each other at high tide, and some even at low tide. There is clearly no sense in retaining them! Geopersona (talk) 06:24, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It (or part of the island group) could probably go back on in 12th place but would require referencing as to the area of land above high water mark, as presumably this is the definition which other island figures refer to. The 17ha size on the RSPB website is the extent of the SSSI and not explicitly the size of the dry land area. Geopersona (talk) 06:39, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
