South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.
Cliff Swallows have taken over areas of Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge's boardwalk.
Equally delightful as messy...
We picked a great day to do the Ring of Kerry and take a short detour along the Skellig Ring to see the Kerry Cliffs. The sun was shining, and the blues of the water with bright greens just made these views seem otherworldly. The skies were clear enough that you could see the Skellig Islands. One has a monastery dating back to the 6th century and was used to film Luke Skywalker's home in two recent Star Wars movies.
I love the landscape around this area and its usually not that busy. But with limited parking Me and Rebecca waited until Tuesday to avoid the bank holiday Monday crowds and traffic.
The walk starts with a bit of an assent but once you are on top of the cliffs its fairly flat. The fun bit is dropping down and following one of the multiple paths that run along the scalloped cliffs back the way you came to create a loop.
After a nice 2.5 mile hike, this is the reward at the end of the Raven Cliff Falls Trail. In actuality this is only a portion of the falls that drop through the steep cliffs, but it's about all I could shoot without completely blowing out the highlights. These falls end in a deep (COLD) pool and then feed into Dodd Creek.

Surely one of the most dramatic cliff top views in Europe ? Five miles of stunning sea rock stacks and caves
The stony beach of Rügens eastern coast is a wonderful place. There are a lot of weathered groyne and boulders. 😃 I love that scenery
Langdon Cliffs.
There have been a lot of corn buntings around this last week. The one under the farm gate was very confiding. The shot in the dried grasses was a bit of an experiment to see whether I could focus through all the grass stems.
I thought when I shot this image it was a Barn Swallow, which there are several of them around. It turns out it was a Cliff Swallow, part of the flock gathering mud for building nests.
