Happy New year to you all

A Black swan at Pembroke Dock earlier today.

Its mine - no its not

Goosanders visiting Pembrokeshire

I wonder why they named us Spoonbills !!! Shrimps for lunch followed by a bath.

'The Flight of the Egret'

For my Birdie friends today at lower Town a Goosander and Dipper and at Penberri pond a Black necked grebe

Having fun in the setting sun

Lovely and peaceful at Whitesands this evening

A launch in the dark

There is always a different way to look at every Pembrokeshire beach

During the summer at St Justinians on the Coast path I watched a 'Digger Wasp' digging a hole, catching and paralising its prey, taking the prey down the hole where it will have laid an egg on the prey which will be consumed by the grub on hatching. Dry sunny spots are chosen for warmth to encourage developement of the grub. (Thanks to Nathan Walton WTSWW for ID and info) More can be found about this wasps lifestyle at https://www.buglife.org.uk/bugs-and-habitats/digger-wasps.

Today was a perfect for a trip around Ramsey with Ffion and Mick (Falcon Boats). Plenty of seals with pups - now is a great time to see them. As we watched one pup was so close to having sharp edged slabs of rock all over it in a land/rock slip. Three Red Deer had a look at us from the top of their lofty 120 metre high cliff top vantage point whilst way above that a Peregrine falcon showed off some of its aerial skills. At least five Buzzards were seen some Shags and of course the lovely rock formations at their best in the light at this time of year. All photographs were taken with a large telephoto lens and heavily cropped. Lyndon @Falcon Boats

Very nice out and about today - lucky we are

Today in Porth Clais after 10 years of service the D Class Inshore Lifeboat 'Myrtle and Trevor Gurr' (D 704) handed over responsibility to 'Marian and Alan Clayton' (D 840). No doubt many adventures await the newest member of the St Davids RNLI Team

And another lovely one tonight

There were quite a few 'New Born ' Bottle nosed dolphins off the Ceredigion coast yesterday - note the Foetal Folds in the bottom photo. Good to see as these are the future Mummies and Daddies for 30 years or more.

Thanks to Nigel and Gwyneth (Thousand Islands) today for a trip to Grassholm and back via Ramsey island. Both Islands looking fantastic in the afternoon sun with blue seas and sky. Lots of Seals, and Gannets with a good crop of young birds shortly to venture out to sea to fend for themselves. A Peregrine Falcon was a good find at Grassholm. Guillemots are now wearing their 'winter coats' reminding us that Autumn is upon us. A visit to the 'Fish and Chip shop' was followed by a Pembrokeshire Sunset to end the day.
