Editing Filfla (section)

==Environment==
Filfla has an area of {{convert|3.7282|ha|acre|abbr=}} with a {{Convert|988|m|adj= on}} long coastline. It is a crumbling flat-topped [[limestone]] plateau surrounded by {{convert|60|m|adj=on}} high cliffs. Three species of [[seabird]]s breed on the islet: the [[European storm petrel]] (with an estimated 5000 – 8000 pairs), [[Cory's shearwater]] (c.&nbsp;200 pairs) and [[yellow-legged gull]] (c.&nbsp;130 pairs). The island has been identified as an [[Important Bird Area]] (IBA) by [[BirdLife International]], principally because of the storm petrel colony.<ref name=bli>{{cite web |url=http://www.birdlife.org |title=Filfla Islet |access-date=2013-08-07 |work=Important Bird Areas factsheet |publisher=BirdLife International |year=2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630122358/http://www.birdlife.org/ |archive-date=June 30, 2007 }}</ref> A type of [[Podarcis|wall lizard]] (''[[Podarcis filfolensis]]'' ssp.
