Visit to WWT Llanelli 2. The reserve is often thought of as just for birds. Yesterday it was a lovely place to be, the trees showing a change to autumn colours, berries of all shapes and sizes ,people just enjoying walking there. Lots of Butterflies including Comma, I think Hawkers and Darters. If anyone knows which species shown please let me know - thanks in advance.
Visit to WWT Llanelli 1 - It was a good day there yesterday in particular for wading birds. Shown are pics of Black tailed godwit (Hundreds there), Ruff (Isaw 4) Common sandpiper and I was lucky to find a Spotted redshank and get a long distance record photo. Also 2 Curlew sandpipers and two Greenshank plus more.

A very interesting Boat trip this morning along the North Pembrokeshire coast from Fishguard. Lots of Seal mothers suckling pups whilst others shouted and got into fights - thats normal for Lady Seals. In a matter of minutes we saw Common dolphin see photo, Porpoise see photo and Rissos dolphin. Three different species of Cetacean within 10 minutes - WOW !!. Good numbers of sea birds, various gulls, Guillemot, Gannet also a 'Gulp' of Cormorants. The nice Mr Google says that is the Collective Noun for a Group of Cormorants. Thanks to Pad and to Ian 'for lifting me off the boat' - old age and of course lots of wisdom comes at a price !!! With Blue Shark charters .

About a fortnight ago I visited the Botanical gardens near Carmarthen with good friends and went to the afternoon Bird of Prey flying session/exhibition. Yes they are not my normal wild bird photos but there is something special about the look in the eye of raptors under any circumstances. Oh yes I will go again. I have shown Red Kite, Black Kite and Eagle Owl from the session
