Description
The Great Orme headland is a massive chunk of limestone that rises 207m straight out of the sea. The sea cliffs, limestone grassland, heathland and woodland support a big variety of birds. The cliffs are host to colonies of seabirds (such as norec tenkozobý, čajka trojprstá, alka vrúbkozobá). The Great Orme is also home to many resident and migrant land birds including krkavec čierny, kuvik obyčajný and sokol sťahovavý. Occasionally čavka červenozobá is spotted. Also lots of seabirds on the sea. Like čajka tmavá, čajka morská, čajka striebristá, sula biela, svišťúň zrkadlový, kormorán chochlatý and turpan čierny.
