As
the photos here show, Pentre Halkyn quarry is a great wildlife haven.
It is home to a huge range of species – everything from birds of prey
to rabbits, foxes and badgers.
Peregrine
falcons have nested and reared their young in the quarry for several
years, drawn by the pigeons which nest in the quarry buildings. Little
owls also nest here. Recent breeding surveys showed that the little owl
population was down by 24 per cent between 1995 and 2008.
We will add more quarry wildlife photos as they become available
