Holyhead, RSPB South Stack and Cemlyn Bay.

 Day 2 of our trip. First stop was the harbour at Holyhead where we managed to find a single black guillemot. There was a fine drizzle by the time that we reached South Stack. We walked towards the lighthouse where we saw lots of razorbills and guillemots and a single puffin. On the way back to the visitor centre we had amazing views of chough.



Then a wheatear


Fulmar, gannet, shag, raven and stonechat were also seen. Next stop Cemlyn Bay.

Common, arctic and sandwich terns. Another birder had seen a roseate tern, but the terns kept taking to the air which made scanning for different birds difficult.. Mallard, red breasted merganser, pied wagtail, meadow pipit, linnet, goldfinch, blackbird and dunlin were also seen, but we could not locate yellow wagtails, we also decided not to go looking for the american golden plover as it was starting to thunder.
