Atlantic Puffins are silent at sea On land males give a pig like grunt not very melodious In their breeding burrows they make a growling call like a muted chainsaw Or emit sounds like laughter Sporting their Puffin Penguin like colouring Guarding their burrows, they take a soldier like stance erect . Red curved Billed Chough pronounced Chuffs Make thrilling sounds or cries Feeding on Sand Hoppers larvae of kelp flies Chough is sported on Cornish coat of arms Described as old-world birds who love cliffs With Red legs & glossy Blue-Black plumage . Whereas Peregrine bird of prey or pilgrim sky dives Has Blue-Grey back & tear stripe under eyes Barred & buff White underparts & Black head With long broad pointed wings & short tail Like Speedy Gonzales the Peregrine reaches 200 miles an hour

Crying out raucous cackling & begging wailing calls of young In alarm like calls kak kak kak .

Raven gives a low gurgling croak to a harsh grating sound Followed by shrill alarm calls He sings out from a large vocabulary of sounds This majestic & mysterious spirit bird Sleek Black & four-foot wingspan Known to have the gift of the gab . & The hoarse chattering call of Fulmar Seabirds Sonying out of cliff face of Moher With patterned Gull like White or Grey tubed beaks Strong flyers boasting quick wing beats Feeds on small fish squid Shrimp plankton & jellyfish .
