Andy B : The light in the evening was really good for a couple of hours, I was there between 6:30 - 8:00, but the light was still good when I left (I got hungry).
The position of the sun in the evening meant that a lot of the birds were in shadow, but there were some ledges that still had light. Also birds sill flying around above the cliff tops caught the good light.
I was around and about most of the day, but my best photos were during the evening - when every body had gone home.
Lovely shot Rob - thanks for the info above, I'm up there next week and reading your advice I may well stay later than I intended even though I'll have a long drive back to Liverpool for my tea

Beautiful image! Love the poses and interaction! Great lighting!

Great light, and although a fair bit of seperation between the birds, the near bird is plenty sharp for this comp
