Tintagel & King Arthur

The town of Tintagel has the ruins of a castle high on the cliffs of the sea/Bristol Channel where the legend is that the castle was that of King Arthur. It is mostly ruins but the beauty of it is that of the view from above looking out over the sea.
This bird caught our attention when in very gusty winds, he was able to hold a position just as you see him about 15 feet above the ground. He didn't move more than a few inches in any direction for several minutes at a time. Notice he is looking down which we supposed was to catch a glimpse of any four legged creatures emerging from their hiding places. Every now and then he would swoop down to apparently nab something.

Tintagel is on the north coast of Cornwall.
