Gannet
A later than planned start for my walk to the cliffs, missing the sunrise! A bitterly cold south west wind certainly took the edge off the efforts of the now bright morning. A quiet walk with most birds hunkered down. No visible Auks on the cliffs and no rafts on the sea, although a few Puffins could be seen on the sea, and a couple of Guillemots and Razorbills flew close in. Gannets and Kittiwakes were the dominant seabirds with only a couple of Fulmars flying low down.
Passerines
Dunnock
Shags normally breed on the lower cliffs on ledges or in caves. Watching two fly towards the cliffs, they alighted on a ledge in front of a cave about two hundred feet above the water. They soon disappeared into the cave.
Thank you for looking.
