Always love it when a plan comes together. Brief glimpse of a great grey shrike on a sunny day #GreatGreyShrike #BirdingWales

A trip to Pendine beach with plenty of activity on the cliffs #Fulmar #RockDove #HerringGull #CommonScoter #Pendine #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Okay, ta

Are they nesting?

The grey herons are busy and were enjoying our day of sunshine #GreyHeron #PembreyCountryPark #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Phone photo only of the island with grey herons in the trees

Access path to the viewing area very flooded. Lily dog in her buggy

Pond is flooded out over the path

Other paths in the woods are under water and impassible

A wander in the wet to check out the heronry, to find 5 very active, raucous & raunchy birds. Area is very flooded though and struggled to get through the wood #greyheron #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

I took a wander there too but after you and had good views of the female marsh harrier.

The sky was blue and the sun shone, certainly made the Robin sing. However I couldn't see him. Always a pleasure to hear #Robin #song

Great white egret hunting in a field

Lots of lapwing feeding in a field

Starlings gathering around the cattle feeder with the cows

Tree creeper upside down under a branch

Battled the winds before Storm Chandra at Banc Y Lord. Only found 2 x great white egrets, plenty of little egret, starling, lapwing, golden plover and an obliging tree creeper #greatwhiteegret #lapwing #Starlings #Treecreeper #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Two BBC camera and sound operates are gathered around a group of three people who are ringing wading birds.

Don't miss this Sunday's BBC Countryfile when the team join BTO Cymru as we ring and study waders on The Menai Strait. #BirdingWales

Got my kestrel tick today, not many of them around here. Sadly only my phone with me. Happy days #kestrel #PembreyCountryPark #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Aquatic insects and larvae

Thank you 😊

Found my first dipper of the year #Dipper #BurryPort #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Too busy up there for me. I've been drawn back home to my roots. Always looked for Bill Odie on the heath but never found him 😆

I'm with you on that one but having the beach infront of me and the dogs, gets me through. Roll on spring. Take care x

As long as you have a plan, rather than fester indoors

Sounds like you need some support there. What are your plans?

Whatever have you done to yourself now? Seems like you need a good dose of cod liver oil for your joints

Gulls, oystercatchers, sanderling and dunlin feeding on mussels on the beach

The sun going down as the tide goes out

Mussels galore

Sunset over the distant lighthouse with plenty of herring gulls taking to the sky

An afternoon beach walk with the dogs & a set of bins, as the tide was going out. A feeding frenzy of birds as so many mussels were left on the sand. Bar-tailed godwits, sanderling, dunlin, oycs and lots of gulls #BurryPort #sunset #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

The wind is getting up, so no change really at the coast. Nos da

Hope you sleep well in your own bed and that your heating is sorted?

Hair ice formed dead wood

Hair ice formed on dead wood

Another angle of hair ice formed on wood

A first for me, believe it's called hairy ice or hair ice, caused by ice forming on dead wood and a certain fungus. Very delicate and pretty in amongst the depths of the woodland #Llandeilo

Hope you catch up with some sleep and feel better soon. Sending big cwtches x

@madocleonard2.bsky.social how you getting on Gaynor? Hope there's pain relief?

It sounds like it. You need to get on the list and get a new one. Hopefully 2026 will be your year 🙏

At least it's warm in there. I hope you haven't broken anything and you get a thorough MOT to find out why you fell

🤣🤣🤣🤣
