The SPA of Mynydd Cilan, Trwyn y Wylfa ac
Ynysoedd Sant Tudwal is located on the southern coast of the Lleyn
Peninsula in North Wales. The SPA is a 10 km stretch of seacliffs
from the western end of Porth Neigwl in the east to Penrhyn Du and
the Tudwal islands in the west. Cliff-top habitats including
unimproved pasture, maritime grassland, semi-improved grassland,
arable farmland, and coastal and maritime heath are incorporated
into the SPA because they provide vital foraging habitat for the
resident population of chough nesting along the rocky coast.
‘Cloddiau’ or field banks and dung from grazing stock provide
perfect conditions for the insects that chough feed upon. Insects
of the shore’s strandline are also an important food source.
