Malltraeth: birds observed


A cinematic ‘sketchbook’ of flora and fauna. Acclaimed wildlife artist Charles F Tunnicliffe, living at Malltraeth, captures wonderfully close-up footage of a group of fancy pigeons [he painted such pigeons for Thomas Forshaw, Sheriff of Anglesey 1944], a cormorant with emerald eye, a corvid, a herring gull, beautiful swans and 2 young birds of prey. A horned black cow and a sedum plant making itself at home on a roof also feature.
