Visit to Angelsey North Wales: South Stack and Cemlyn Bay

                                  Southstack is the place to go to see and photograph Choughs

                                           This juvenile Chough was quite close for a short time.

              Choughs are very acrobatic in flight. It makes getting flight shots a challenge.

 The Peregrine Falcon has to be one of our most iconic raptors. They have had a good breeding season on South Stack.The juveniles loved to put on great arial dispays and then would come down for a rest. I watched these juveniles for quite some time in the setting evening sun on our last night. Having prevously watched where they had been resting for a few days I was able to get some really close views.

                               Toilet training means checking the direction of the wind.

                 Catch me if you can! All that arial play means they can hone their hunting skills

                Sandwitch Tern. There is a strong colony at Cemlyn. Over two thousand birds

                                             With chicks to feed Cemlyn is a busy place.

                          Already some of the Sandwitch Terns are going into winter plumage

                                   Cemlyn Bay has to be one of my favourite places to visit.
