Llyn Peninsula
On our fourth day we decided to drive around the Llyn Peninsula so we headed down the peninsula to Aberdaron. En route we saw a Rookery of around 40 birds and we also saw Magpies, Crows etc. From Aberdaron we drove up the hillside to the remote disused lifeguard station on the headland overlooking Bardsey Island. It was pretty wild and windy up there but we had a bit of a walk around. There were gulls and some smaller birds in the gorse but it was so windy they were lying low. The only birds that seemed to love it were the Swallows which were everywhere. On our way back down we saw a Buzzard and a Chough and also what turned out to be a Red Kite. At first we took it for a Buzzard because there was one in the sky at the same time but as it came closer the tail indicated that it was a Red Kite. As we watched it hovered in the air like bigger version of a Kestrel and then eventually landed behind a rock. We watched for a minute or so and eventually it emerged from behind the rock rising in the air with a snake hanging from one of its talons ! It flew away into the distance and we did not really expect to see it again after such a big meal had been caught.
