This morning I had a lovely cliff-top walk at New Quay. Many Guillemots and Razorbills were on the cliff ledges and Shags at their nests. Cormorant, Fulmar, Peregrine, Sparrowhawk, Chough, Raven and Linnets were also about.
Before they start to breed the auks can disappear and one can visit the cliffs and none are to be seen at all. They all go out to sea and the next day will be back. Hopefully, by the time of the monthly Ceredigion birdwatchers' walk in April, which is at New Quay, they will all be settled and we will get good views of them.
