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.

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.
