Hideshima islet

Hideshima islet is a small 8 ha island lying about 1 km off the coast of the Hinodejima fishery harbour of Miyako, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. It consists of a forested plateau surrounded by cliffs, the steep slopes of which are used by burrow-nesting seabirds. The plateau forest is largely of "Quercus crispula" and "Tilia japonica" trees, with some "Pinus densiflora" and "Cryptomeria japonica". The island lies within the Sanriku Fukkō National Park and has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a colony of band-rumped storm petrels. Streaked shearwaters also breed on the island.
