Ramsey - choughs

Chough on Ramsey have had a highly successful season. All 8 nests were sucessful, producing 24 young between them, an average of 3 per pair (the joint highest on record with 2004). Two of these pairs were first time breeders both using new sites (one was a completely new site, the other last used once before in 1975). Traditionally such birds tend to fare less well but they produced 3 and 2 young respectively.

Our peregrines at Aber Mawr have fledged 2 young. No sign of the SEO young yet but they are still out there in the heather somewhere judging by the adults behaviour.
