It builds a wool-lined stick nest in a cave, and feeds on the ground, taking mainly invertebrate prey.
It has a buoyant and easy flight soaring above the cliffs with widespread primaries; it often indulges in aerobatics, rolling and turning, and tail-chasing with wings almost closed (which produces a whizzing sound) before sweeping upwards again.
and then there is that expression "i'm chuffed" which sounds like it might mean I'm angry, mad or pissed off, but which actually means i'm happy, glad and pleased. (right?)
