I could hardly have spent the afternoon by the cliffs without taking the occasional photo of some of the fulmars. They seem to have moved away from their nesting spots, but still skim the cliff face constantly. 
Fulmar
I've rarely posted about the other cliff-side inhabitants, but there's a very healthy jackdaw population there. They are a constant source of chattering noise and activity as they flit between crevices in the rock, avoid the fulmars and generally bully the pigeons.
As for today, it's been quiet. I did see a badger. It was at the top of the garden when I went outside. I was too far away for a photo, but watched as it ambled away to the rear of the garden. It must have heard me come outside and although it didn't stay around it's retreat was pleasantly casual and relaxed. No foxes tonight, but the three hedgehogs were as busy as ever. Here's one of them.
Camera note: the birds were taken with the EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens. For the hedgehog I used the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM.

18 Aug 2009Darko, the hedgehogs are greedy little things, but they need to put on lots of weight before they hibernate over winter.

21 Aug 2009Mark, thanks. Fulmars have great wings They are much straighter and more rigid than gulls. On the other hand they have hopeless feet for walking which is why they just perch on the cliff edge, or go out to sea. I've never seen one on the beach area.
