Elusive Ouzel.


Another highlight of my trip was the Ring Ouzels. Although very skittish and hard to track. These great birds where a lifer for me to photograph. I saw Five birds stopping off at the Lundy Service station during there migration.

Falcons of Kings.




One of my main reasons for visiting Lundy isl. Was to see the Peregrine Falcons.The history that Lundy has with this magnificent Falcon dates back to the 13th century and the Royal family, and also being the first known site for breeding Peregrines in the UK. Watching them glide over the island or resting on a rocky ledge or in High speed dives for prey was just fantastic.

Alpine Lundy

Finally got some time off work, so took a small break to Lundy island in the Bristol channel. And this Alpine swift was a great treat.
