Continuing from my last post from my first visit for 2013 the some very special Sea bird cliffs on the North Wales coast.
The Guillemots were in large numbers tightly packed in so you could not see there egg's or chicks which was abit disappointing but I did spot a few Bridled Guillimots in the colony which was a welcome sight on the cliffs. I managed to climb upto a large area of rocks which took me up higher to get abit more level with the group to get a few cropped shots of the Guillemots.
Level
with the bigger group of Guillemots and I could have watched them
flying in and out all day due to there clock work nature of taking off
and sometimes landing and missing the ledge and landing on a lower ledge
where all the poo is directed.
Bridled Guillimot a unique variation in most Guillemot colony's
I finally found a little black bundle of Guillemot feathers near the edge of the colony
after reviewing the photographs once I returned home.

View up of the epic sea bird cliffs where we came in off the sea to a pebble beach.
Before
leaving I did a safety check on the boats as they are inflatable
so always best to be safe as the conditions change on the sea quite
quickly and a 10minute paddle back to the beach can become a hour due to
rougher water which is exactly what we faced on visit later in the week
which left us totally worn out both physically and mentally.
Thanks for reading
