The St David's all weather boat launching last night on exercise. Always a spectacular site especially in the evening sun and a blue sea

 

What a glorious day for a trip around Ramsey. Blue skies, blue seas, Ramsey Sound was peaceful and looked lovely. The cliffs around the Island showed well in the early afternoon sun. We saw Porpoise, Seal pups, Seals and were introduced to the various Marine life and Geology of Ramsey Island. Thanks to Skipper 'Mike' and Guide 'Chris'. Lyndon

 

Some Red Kites from Rhayader. A success story for Conservation in Wales. On the brink of extinction and now widespread forming an important part in tourism. I would just mention as always photos taken with a large telephoto lens and cropped.

 

Just a few from a Boat Trip from Newquay on board SeaMor. Kittiake taking off, Porpoise, Gannet, two Bottle nosed dolphin calves and a Herring gull

 

You just have to love it - Not -when new noisy neighbours move in !!!

 

In September 2019 the new St Davids Inshore Lifeboat ' Marion and Alan Clayton' donated by Mr Keith Clayton arrived in St Davids. I am just sorting through some photographs and my thoughts turned to the generosity of people that make donations like this and in a different way for those who make use of these boats to save others. I was lucky enough to photograph the events including the Dedication in St Davids Cathedral, the launch in Porth Clais Harbour and being taken into her new home at St Justinians.

 

We had a really good boat trip from Newquay with sea Mor yesterday. Apart from Dolphins, seals, porpoise etc of much interest to me was the sighting of this Balaeric Shearwater. Although I have often seen them watching whilst watching from Strumble head in the Autumn after 25 + years of watching Marine Wildlife with a camera from boats this is only the second I have seen from a boat in the summer.

 

Out on a trip with Sea Mor departing from Newquay. Just 4 of many Manx Shearwater photos showing, flying low over the sea allows to average 45 Km/hr for hours, using short legs and long wings to take off, why they are called Shearwaters

 

The sun kissed St Davids Head goodnight as it went to bed

 

An afternoon with damselflies

 

Last night we had a lovely boat trip in beautiful weather with 'Bay To remember' departing from St Dogmaels. Early encounters with Bottle nosed dolphins were followed by Black head gulls, Manx shearwaters Sandwich terns, (See Photos ) we also saw Cormorant, Shag, various other Gulls, Barnacle geese etc The rock formation in the North Pembrokeshire cliffs looked amasing in the evening sunlight

 

Sometimes the conditions are perfect for a magical experience. So it was on a trip with 'Sea Mor' sailing from Newquay a few weeks ago. Initially we had very high cloud and blue sky, wonderful colours in the coastal rock formations as the sun started to sink, a glorious sunset as we returned to Newquay and even the moon put in an appearance.

 

Green Woodpeckers. A nice few hours spent a couple of weeks ago with Daddy Pecker and his eldest son as they fed on Ants. The youngster is now virtually self sufficient. Love their 'yaffling' call which travels for a very long way.
