We have always spotted choughs while in Peambrokeshire and Cornwall but never managed an image. This time in Pembrokeshire we did my hubby took these picks not the greatest but at least a start.

Used to have the Alpine variety winging around the Hut but I was always jealous of coastal folk having these red billed jobbies. Always want what you can't have, I suppose!

Corvids are def. my favourite birds.

I remember watching the Choughs in Pembrokeshire a few years ago. They were hopping about quite close to us on the cliffs, as we just sat there watching them.
Quite a comical but intelligent bird
