As the sun shone bright in the sky I visited the RSPB reserve at South Stack, Holyhead. I was there at the beginning of last June when the cliffs and the sea were alive with guillemots, razorbills etc but this time round they were all gone.
The choughs (pictured) were still there of course and I got some good footage of them. You can view the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kBMrA4X7Ws
Also got a shot of a meadow pipit on the heather that is everywhere along the coastal reserve, which you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmGsQtKKsfE
Other birds seen included kittiwake, stonechat, willow warbler, raven (2 birds flew overhead and then soared in the immediate area producing some stunning acrobatics), wheatear (juvenile).
