The St David's Lifeboat has been busy lately but this morning the launch was for an exercise. Valuable time being spent by the crew and shore based team preparing to rescue more people who find themselves in difficulty along our coast.

At Last !!

I am not sure just how many years this/a mandarin has been seen at Lower Town.  Time and time again I have dipped until this afternoon.  Glass of red for me

'We want our babies back'

Another lovely end to the day In Pembrokeshire at Whitesands

Nothing nicer at this time of year than quietly wandering along the banks of a Pembrokeshire river looking for Dippers and be lucky enough to find a parent feeding its newly fledged youngster.

This picture shows how on diving the Gannet has to deal with being able to judge distance and angles due to refraction (bending) of light as it enters the water. Amasingly it alters the shape of its eye ball and lens in less than 80 mille seconds so it can see perfectly under water.

This afternoon the last remaining Tyne Class Lifeboat still in service - the 'Annie Blaker' from Whicklow passed through Ramsey Sound. She will be leaving the RNLI shortly for a new life. St Davids Lifeboat 'Norah Whortley' launched and joined the retiring boat passing Ramsey island
