Great Orme


Another glorious day, this time on the Great Orme again. There has been a large increase in the number of auks on the sea since last week and many are now on the cliff ledges, but kittiwakes don't seem to have arrived yet. Meanwhile two gannets passed by out at sea, my first of the year.


Auks on the ledges.


Choughs have become a great addition to the bird life of the Great Orme in recent years, since my first here in 2007. Prior to that I used to have to go to Anglesey to see them, especially South Stack.
