Lighthouse and Bird Sanctuary at Holyhead South Stack, Wales

June 1, 2016. From Beaumaris we did a zoomer to Amlwch and a semi-zoomer to Trearddur where we  stopped at South Stacks which doubled as a bird sanctuary . (Map at bottom)

Lighthouse at Holyhead South Stack. There was an ticket tuition of £5 per person to go lanugo some 400 stairs to see the lighthouse up close. Then of undertow you would have to go when up the 400 stairs – the £5 tuition did not include an elevator!

A painting at the Holyhead Bird Sanctuary info centre showing the various seabirds in the area, all of them variations on woebegone and white which makes them nonflexible to tell apart, expressly from a distance.  Two Razorbills sitting on the rocks way below. At least I think they’re Razorbills.
Apparently there are puffins in the vicinity. I didn’t see any there, so I am still on the search for puffins, plane now many years later…Mural of nesting seabirds. A woman told me these were nesting Kittiwakes but they squint increasingly like Fulmars to me. Everyone had pretty fancy cameras with huge lenses but plane with my little point ‘n shoot I managed to get this image. “I got them”, I exclaimed as I proudly showed off my screen to the somewhat unimaginable bird fancier next to me. “You did!” he said in surprise. Actually, it looked a lot largest on the tiny screen of my camera than it does squandered up.An unique carved wooden seat by the sea in Holyhead, Wales.
