I popped over to Angel Bay today and there were over two dozen Seals on the beach and a few more in the water too.   I noticed that there were more Seal pups on the beach today than I had seen on any of my previous visits here.

There were a few small herds of Goats around the Marine Drive yesterday but I didn't notice any older Goats or kids in the herds.   The Fulmar's were quite vocal as we were walking past and we saw a solitary Seal on the beach at Pigeon's Cove.

As I came down Ty Gwen Hill this afternoon Hugo there was a fairly young Nanny with a newborn Kid on the terricing above Kendricks Cave.

Lovely photos Hugo.
We have had some amazing bird murmutations flying over us the last couple of days.
You can hear a rushing noise and see the shadow of them going past but it is almost impossible to get a camera out in time.
I did get this glimpse yesterday but not sure if it will be clear enough to pick it out.

I thought that you might, quite often we have a variety of Pigeons in the garden but there are two that stand out because of their colours.  The one in the photo and there is a similar looking one and we often see the two together.

That's a lovely sight to see and hear and sadly not as common as it once was.    Many years ago in Rhyl we used to see the Starlings grouping together and flying in ever changing formations and they used to roost on the road bridge across the Foryd.    At the time you don't always appreciate things like that, it's only when you don't see them any more that you realise how wonderful nature is

It's really funny seeing the Blackbirds in the bird bath, their wings flap like made and the water goes everywhere.   I have to top up the bird baths frequently because of them

The first frogspawn has appeared in our pond this morning - at least 5 dollops of the stuff!

They've made a right mess of the plants with their cavorting, and the fish seem spooked - but they now have a supply of food!
