South Stack, Anglesey 16/05/10

One of my all-time favourite wildlife spots. A stunning location and home to one of the biggest (if not the biggest?) on-shore seabird colonies in the UK, with hundreds of breeding Common Guillemots, Razorbills, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Greater Black-backed and Herring Gulls and European Shags, with a scattering of Atlantic Puffins for good measure and a good chance of Northern Gannets feeding just offshore. The moorland above the cliffs have Red-billed Chough and Stonechat as well. All the species above were in attendance on this glorious Sunday morning. Both the cliffs in this photo are covered with Common Guillemots and Razorbills. The sheer noise of the colony is remarkable in itself.
