What a glorious day .............

What a glorious day for a boat trip - there is still time to book and have a trip today.  This morning, blue sky and sea, lots of Sea Birds - Puffins, Guillemot, Razorbill, Gulls, Storm petrel, Manx Shearwater, Fulmar, - etc etc and 4 or 5 sightings of Porpoise One RISSO's Dolphin and Two MINKE Whales  

All at sea

How lovely to be out at last on the sea - today a trip in the waters of  Ceredigion - wind and weather have worked against us so far - Grey seal, Razorbill and Bottle nosed dolphins

Mummy and Daddy have managed to fledge three of us in Lyndon's garden in St David's,  although we are now foraging for ourselves daddy is still helping to keep our 'hollow legs' full.  Daddy looks really thin and tired at the moment because he is also taking food to mummy who is trying to hatch out some younger brothers and sisters for us - BUT he still manages to wake Lyndon up at 3.30 am with his morning singing - before leaving him wide awake and going off for his own breakfast.  PS We only let Lyndon take photos of some of us through the window when we are not looking !!. 

Whitethroats

Whitethroats in the early morning sun just after day break earlier this morning

RNLI St David's

She looked so graceful  slipping into the blue calm water and the setting sun.  Meanwhile work continues on 'The Throne' for the Heir to the title of the 'St David's Lifeboat'

Ramsey Island today

What another fantastic day for a visit to or, a boat trip around Ramsey Island - I chose the boat trip, although perhaps I should have done both - Lots of seals, some right alongside the boat, fantastic tide races - cliffs - sea birds including Gulls, Auks and Fulmars (see pic) and, mega views of a  Peregrine falcon (see pic) plus Raven, Chough, Wheatear etc etc  On a personal note lovely to see some long standing friends as well. 

More from Galloway

Two photos from Galloway at the end of March - a Herring gull bathing in the park at Galloway and part of an amazing 200 plus group of Greenland white fronted geese near Stranraer - they were a long way off and taken with a canon 500mm lens - I have seen small groups before at Slimbridge and in Pembrokeshire + Ceredigion but never a group like this - I wish them' bon voyage' for their flight over the mountains of Iceland to their breeding gounds
