KESTREL HOVERING - Just for a bit of fun I put these 'still pictures' I took near St David's of a Kestrel hovering whilst looking for a meal. The wind was gusting up to 40 Knots and the birds head was steady as a rock unlike my photography. It certainly shows how much 'twisting and movement' there is in the wing joints.

 

St David's Lifeboat in the process of being re housed today after an exercise today

Just one of the three ring Ouzels currently in the Quarry at Porth Gain - somewhat long distance unfortunately. Always nice to see but especially so when close to home. Also the first time I have managed to get a quick pic of one

 

A Kestrel yesterday at Trefeiddan Moor showing great skills of flying and hovering in the wind.

 

Long distant views this afternoon of a Cattle egret from the footpath that runs from Pen Y Garn to St Nons in St Davids. In the same location as one/it? earlier in the year - hmmm I wonder.

 

Thank you to Thousand Islands Wildlife Expeditions for a lovely boat trip around Ramsey Island yesterday afternoon. The rock formations and colours were fantastic in the afternoon sun with blue seas and sky as well. We saw plenty of Seals of all ages including 'Pups' and mums'. As always the wildlife was photographed from a distance using a tele photo lens

 

St David's Lifeboat launched on exercise last night - nice the Station is open again after being closed due to Covid

 

Nice to see some Dippers in Lower Town today, one with a juicy snack, as well as a very shy white Magpie coming to drink
