A day with Dr Sarah Beynon and 'Dung Beetles' and more

A great time was had on Ramsey Island today by 14 of us ageing from 3 to 70+ years investigating her passion for ‘Dung and its inhabitants’ The photo shows Sarah investigating a Dung beetle trap with some of the group’s younger ones and ‘the prize’ More days are planned, keep in touch with Thousand Islands and/or visit www.dungbeetlesdirect.com After returning to St Justinian’s a few of us were treated to the launch of St David’s existing Tyneside which then did a lovely pass by the new Tamar boat. As pure chance would have it both boats have the number 026 in their identification number

Today in St David's

A million miles away from my normal interests were a group of Zulu children in St David's today doing a sing and dance routine. They are both on holiday and raising money for their school. They were brill - their strong voives defeating cars, buses and tractors

Newport Slavonian Grebe - Slightly 'out of season'

All at sea 16 may 2013

After a few months indoors it was wonderful to be off shore again on our first trip offshore with Thousand Islands. Grassholm Gannets spectacular as ever also on the Island Raven, Peregrine falcon, an unprecedented number of Guillemot and good numbers of Kittiwake. At sea lots of puffins, Manx shearwater An Arctic skua, Storm petrel etc. Also one small pod of Common dolphin
