The towering Precambrian cliffs of Holy Island off Anglesey are home to some of the most spectacular bird colonies in the whole of the UK.
In summer, over 4000 pairs nest on precarious ledges overlooking rocks at the water's edge. Seabirds such as puffins, fulmars, guillemots and razorbills share the cliffs with other bird species like peregrine falcons and choughs.
Because of the proximity of the cliffs to accessible parts of the island, it's possible to view the colonies through telescopes from carefully-designed areas.
