Visit to the Fish Dock at Holyhead : 18th July 2013

After we left South Stack we dropped in at the Fish Dock at Holyhead on the off chance that we might see the Black Guillemots there again and, very obligingly, not only were they there but they gave us a fine flying display showing off their red bills and legs beautifully. There were about half a dozen of them but most of them were just past the harbour mouth and only a single pair were happy to give us near views. This was the second time we had been there and both times we had seen them within a minute or two – very helpful. Whilst we were there another chap drove up and parked near us and we got talking and he said that he was staying at a caravan park at South Stack and not only did he see the Coughs that morning but he has seen them every day in a field next to where his caravan was ! You win some and you lose some.
