The birds on the cliffs at South Stack were a bit too far away to get a decent shot but by the lighthiuse it was possible to get within a few yards of these nesting gulls. I love to see tham but I'm no expert, so I hope someone will tell me which sort of gull this is.
Fulmarus glacialis
The northern fulmar is monogamous and forms long term pair bonds. It returns to the same nest site year after year. The breeding season starts in May with the laying of the single white egg. They produce a stomach oil that can be sprayed out of their mouths as a defense against predators and as an energy rich food source for chicks and for the adults during their long flights. It can destroy the plumage of avian predators, and can lead to their death. Fulmarus glacialis can be broken down to the Old Norse word full meaning "foul" and mar meaning "gull".

This pair of Great Crested Grebes are nesting in front of Lake Hide at Westhay. I understand there were a couple of chicks in the nest but I didn't see them.
I continue to be impressed by my little TZ70, 30x zoom is of little use handheld but resting on the window frame of the hide produced pretty respectable results.
Mute swans are common in the Lea Valley, and this one chose a nesting site very close to a public car-park.

Female seen nesting on the evening of June 3, 2010--the fourth box turtle I'd found that day--a personal record!
I found a little dugout area with sticks around it that reminded me of a nest so I decided to turn myself into a bird (sorta).

Plastic nesting tables under some pine trees. The film was cross processed in E6 chemicals, scanned by the lab, and I used iPhoto's Antique effect to reduce the blue color cast. The grain is very strong, but the leading edge is in focus. I really like the numerous diagonals.
Rip Rap Islands serve as crucial nesting ground for seabirds near the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel in coastal Virginia. Currently, species that rely on the island include the royal tern, common tern, gull-billed tern, sandwich tern, herring gull, laughing gull, great black-backed gull, black skimmer, and snowy egret.
For decades before the expansion of the HRBT, two artificial islands anchored the underwater tunnels and housed the large colony of seabirds. The construction made these islands unsuitable nesting grounds.
In February 2020, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam tasked the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources with relocating the colony. A quick yet massive renovation of Fort Wool, a Civil War-era military installment built in 1819, transformed Rip Rap Islands into a landscape for the seabird colony similar to the barrier islands. Along with Fort Wool, DWR leased three flat-top barges to create additional habitat next to Rip Rap Islands for the birds to nest. July 15, 2021 (Photo by Aileen Devlin | Virginia Sea Grant)
Canada geese also make use of the nesting platforms, as the goose on the next platform back has done. The Bitterroot Mountains are in the background, a few miles from the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge in Stevensville, Montana.
