Llyn Coed-y-dinas

Fed up with bird images with sticks, leaves and reeds in front of them, this was the only image which was clear of obstruction.  800mm well cropped. Not sure what the 'drone' is.

Thought it was about time I put a post on. Had a ten minute wander into Powys Castle grounds, very busy but managed a few shots.

A quick hour

Went to Pwll Penarth for a hour it was very quiet but did see a sloworm in the same ares as usual and had a little visitor in the first hide.

Dark Giant Horsefly

Dark Giant Horsefly (Tabanus Sudeticus) This is the heaviest fly in Europe it is about 1 inch long, You would not want to get bitten by on of these.

Back to Pwll Penarth

Grass Snakes showing well in the early morning sun and unfortunately 2 Mink were seen in front of the 2nd hide
