Sightings from Jeremy Moore - Plenty of activity at Stack Rocks yesterday afternoon. (3/5/09).
A family party of just-fledged ravens looked a bit bewildered.
Two auk eggs lying on top of the smaller stack were taken by a herring gull and a raven. The eggs looked unattended - just dumped by females with no nests, perhaps?
A peregrine gave one of the ravens a very hard time, almost knocking it off the stack. Then another very fast stoop in and it appeared to be trying to knock a guillemot off.
Good numbers of whitethroats and linnets in the gorse along the cliff path, plus a stonechat and a singing lesser whitethroat.
