I think fulmars are my favourite bird, but i've never managed to find somewhere that you're pretty much guaranteed to see them close up.
Does anyone know of any colonies or regular nesting sites? I love watching them zooming really close past the cliff edge, performing their dramatic turns.

Somewhere along north cornwall or devon would be best but anywhere in cornwall or devon would be good too :)

A couple of good places to see fulmars along North Cornish coast are at Hell's Mouth near Godrevy point and at West Pentire Head near Newquay

Most of the North Coast of Cornwall is good for Fulmar, some of the best area are Tintagel near the Castle and the cliffs below the Lead Mine Car Park at Pentire Point, Polzeath.
