Twas a dry grey start to the trek up and around Great Orme this morning but starting on the Eastern side the strong wind from the W had no debilitating effect. Pr Kittiwake, f Peregrine, couple Shag. Pr Raven one of which was filling it’s beak with grass in readiness for breeding.
Usual Fulmars and Gulls, mostly the larger sp. including 2 GBBG. Oystercatchers & a couple Turnstone. Also c60 Harbour Seals hauled out.
Then I reached the part of the route just below the top of the Orme where you turn left and face West. 😵💫 the force of the blast was horrific so much so I almost fell to my knees and begged Soil Hill for forgiveness.
Two Herring Gull were stood in the car park without a care when I caught sight of an object flitting behind them. It moved again and my dejection sudden spiralled upwards; a Snow Bunting! 😂👍. In typical fashion, it ignored me and kept pecking away and despite me being blown all over the shop I managed some reasonable 📷 lens results. Thank you 🙏 Celtic Spirits 💨.
