Published in

(We have a perfectly-positioned telephone wire near our balcony, so it’s a great spot to watch and to photograph them.)

Elegug Stacks are two limestone pillars standing freely, a short distance from the cliffs on the coastline of Pembrokeshire in south west Wales. Due to their inaccessibility, a multitude of birds are allowed to breed in comparative peace.
