Ravenglass gullery! Those words can still evoke images of what was once one of the wonders of the natural world in Britain. Ravenglass was a true 'mecca' not only for bird-watchers but for anyone interested in nature. The reserve supported a fantastic kaleidoscope of wildlife in and around a huge Black-headed Gull Laris ridibundus colony on the remote and desolate Cumbrian sand dunes.
