The Razorbill Razorbill nest on sea cliffs, they are sometimes found mixed with the Guillemot. In the summer hundreds of Razorbills can be seen on the Great Orme. We have been on a boat trip aroud the Great Orme and seen them diving for fish, in the winter they fly right out to the Atlantic Ocean to catch fish. |

The Sparrowhawk Sparrowhawks are often seen in low level, dashing across the limestone pavements on the Great Orme. Sparrowhawks nest in high trees on their branches. Sparrowhawks have suffered because of DDT which they nearly died of. There are a lot more now in Wales. |
Little owl There are lot's of different pairs of little owl's on the great Orme. They can be seen sitting on stone walls during the day. They feed on the ground on worms and beetles and mice. They call very loudly, making a squeal call. They can turn their head nearly all the way around. |
