From the road to the NE. Wonderful hills especially as they are only T2s.clivevilla25/10/2023
From lay-by / picnic table (SH6503007572) a round of six Tumps.BaggerGutt08/12/2022
A good track from Llanllwyda gave quick access to the Birds' Rock(s), then a series of ROWs and field crossings to take in Pen Rhiwerfa and Pen Coed-y-gof. Finally, we doubled back to climb Gamallt from the west, via sheep and cow fields then following edge of the forest. Returned NW along the ridge before dropping to a ROW back to the start.summitter31/05/2022

Pleasant ascent from Birds' Rock campsite and onto main summit, distinctive rocky sides. Easy scrambling possible. Impressive for a tump. Great views, sunny spells. Choughs.Denise 14/05/2021
From the camp site, great little hill with a few Seagulls, Choughs and Cormorant. Fine view.RichardM14/05/2021

This is called Craig yr Aderyn. It isn't Birds' Rock any more than Mont Blanc is White Mountain.willias19/05/2018

Fine sunny day can`t remember exact route. Spent ages trying to photograph the cormorants flying in to their nests below.mart079719/03/2006
with Pete, one of several short walks on a day of low cloud. Before we knew about Tumps, but this exciting hill was definitely one we heard about. Dramatic scenically and living up to its name with many birds. No problem leaving the ROW to visit HP- the access informal in those days.pwheeler17/07/1995
