Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica �Nigel Blake http://www.nigelblake.co.uk/

The island of Anglesey is mainly flat, and has more wetlands than the mainland. On Anglesey, the tern colony at Cemlyn is a must for birdwatchers from May to July, with several hundred pairs of Sandwich Tern and smaller numbers of Common and Arctic. South Stack gives excellent views of thousands of Guillemots and Razorbills, with smaller numbers of Puffins. In autumn and winter, the Llyn Alaw reservoir often holds impressive numbers of wildfowl.
