Stopped at Cemlyn first off about 09:00 and not a sole about except one guy who looked like he was removing his engine judging buy the amount of tools he had!!
Sandwich Terns were busy flying back and forth with sand eels and other catches.
Plenty of Arctic Terns around with a few Common Terns also, a lone Curlew was feeding along the banks. Two Redshanks and a few Oyster catcher's were about as well.
I did manage to also see a Raven in the field on the way out of the Bay, another first for me this year.
After a short drive to South Stack I found it pretty hard to park, all the lower car parks were full and I managed to get a slot after 10 minutes at the top car park.
All the usual birds near the light house, Guillemot, Razorbill and a few Puffin.
(I have walked down and up them steps to the lighthouse 6 times in 3 days and its getting a bit boring now).
A few Chough were about near to the higher car park along with, Meadow Pipit and Linnet.
The Stonechat are quite approachable here and tend to sit a while enabling very good views without the need for binoculars, makes getting a photo easy too.
The highlight today was the peregrines turning up and hunting around the cliffs, boy can they move.
Trying to get a photo while standing on the edge of a cliff, in the wind is near on impossible.
Juvenile Peregrine.
The series of images below are not very good quality, I was taking a photo of the above Stonechat.
All of a sudden the Peregrines appeared and I just used the settings I had, lucky they came out at all.
The female was dropping the catch the the juvenile pictured above.
