Coastal Cliff Birds

A few shots from a walk along Pennard Cliffs on the Gower Peninsula on Saturday.
Here's the scene, looking west along the cliffs towards the distant Oxwich Bay:


I soon happened upon a pair of Choughs, feeding on the short clifftop turf. As I was preparing to sneak up to them for that award-winning shot, a walker appeared, and off they flew, so I had to be content with this cropped picture:


A couple of photos of Choughs flying overhead:



A pair of Cormorants flying close to the cliffs:


I found a small colony of Fulmars:




Finally, a flyover Raven:


Only other birds of note seen were a Kestrel that flew past several times, and a single Stonechat - the first I've seen on Gower for a while, so I guess they must have suffered from the past three hard winters.

  1. Nice shots Jeremy. People always have a knack of disturbing Choughs at the most inopportune moment. I haven't seen many Stonechats either but there were 3 at Tears Point on Saturday.

  2. Lovely shots Jeremy,likewise Stonechats are very scarce down here this spring. Love the Fulmers, they have to be one of my favourite seabirds.

  15. Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with?

    I'm looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time

    choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is

    because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  16. Almost all of what you assert happens to be supprisingly

    precise and that makes me wonder the reason why I had not

    looked at this in this light previously. This particular article truly did

    switch the light on for me personally as far as this
    specific topic goes. Nonetheless there is actually one

    particular point I am not really too comfortable with

    and while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central

    idea of the issue, let me observe what all the

    rest of your visitors have to say.Very well
    done.
