As is our custom, Jen and I took a week’s holiday in Anglesey in early September. It’s a place that means a great deal to me. We got up to all our usual stuff: me sitting on my favourite rock gazing out to sea for hours on end; walks along rugged headlands; trips to local restaurants; fish and chips on the pier at Beaumaris; going for a paddle on a glorious, almost deserted beach.
Last year, I was concerned at not having seen any razorbills or sandwich terns. I’m relieved to report, there were plenty on show this year. Indeed I’ve never seen so many sandwich terns outside the breeding season. I only saw one grey seal this year, but there were Rizzo’s dolphins, gannets, shags and cormorants, gulls, guillemots, turnstones, oystercatchers, curlews, herons, little egrets, buzzards, rock pipits, a few late swallows and house martins, ravens, choughs, linnets, and limpets.
Perfect!
