Malltraeth, Anglesey, where the river Cefni flows into the Irish Sea, its estuary a bird haven. Tunnicliffe moved here in 1947 and in addition to footage of gulls following the plough and snow and cloud scenes, he captured shots of the built environment on camera: Aberffraw Bridge (bearing his wife Winifred, with green scarf); Llanfechell’s Pont-y-Plas, a bridge with squared arches; St Beuno’s Church, Trefdraeth, and Holyhead docks.
