The picture shows a female Stonechat on top of a rock at the top of South Stack cliffs. The Stonechat’s delicate tones of brown and a smooth almost rusty orange, sets her apart from the rock on which she’s perched. The rock, weathered by hundreds of years of rain and wind, still gleams of white in some places. In other places it shows its age, a crusty appearance cracked by the elements of time and weather, and has probably provided a perch for many Stonechats (and other birds) for centuries before.
The Emperor Dragonfly is centre of picture. Identifiable by its blue and black abdomen and green thorax. It is perched in green leaves and feeding on a butterfly that it caught in flight
The picture shows a Puffin running towards the camera. He had just landed and immediately spotted danger overhead as the marauding Gulls readied themselves to steal his catch. He immediately ran, his little orange legs and feet going as fast as they could. The mix of Sand Eels and Spratt tightly held in his multi-coloured beak. His white front and cheeks, rapidly approaching me, and then he went past and safely to his burrow.
A male Sparrowhawk is perched on a stump in centre of picture. His brown/orange looking front, neck and cheeks, and his grey/blue back and cap is surrounded by Camillia to the left and Daffodils to the right.
