Anglesey June 2011 John Thorogood

Club member John Thorogood has just got back from a short birding break in Anglesey 10-12 June and sent us some pictures.

Unfortunately, the weather was pretty awful (remember Sunday?) so John missed out on the Roseate Tern at Cemlyn pool and the Black Guillemot.

Not many office buildings in Anglesey so here many of the gulls are forced to nest on cliffs ledges, demonstrating the adaptability of these species.

Many thanks John.
