Tuesday

And so to West Wales.

It CHUCKED it down last night but was fine by the time I passed Cardiff.

I stopped at the National Wetlands centre at Llanelli. Disappointing or what!!!!!

A cute collection duck and a heron for you.



I then stopped at

St Mary, Kidwelly











then on to Dinefwr Park near Carmarthen.











I thought this was a juvenile Robin but it is greyer and look at that tail!!! A Redstart!! I saw him flitting about later!


Some deer.






And some Red Kites. WHY is it you never have your big lens when you want it?

Wonderful pictures Pete. Looks like a lovely place.

Well, you might not have had the lens you wanted, but they're good shots anyway - just to see a Red Kite would be a bonus for me!

A Redstart - now that was jammy!

Do tell why the Wetlands Centre was disappointing?

You might have brought some decent weather with you. More like April, slightly warmer I suppose. Got a lot more rain to come by the sounds of it and a bit breezy. I guess Skomer is out!

Llanelli? very few wild birds !!

Wetlands are never great in summer. Thank goodness the churches don't disappoint.

Just caught up with your (latest ;) )
holiday posts, seems you are having a great time with lots of lovely old churches and lots of beautiful stained glass. Well done on the Redstart and the Red Kite and a lovely photo of the Whitethroat also.
