An early morning start saw me at Greylake RSPB reserve for soon after 7.00am. Very quite save for Reed and Sedge Warblers on the reeds along the paths to the hide and some mating swallows from the hide.

Fox
Coming back from the farm the other day I decided to take a look at the bushes at the side of the railway to see what was about. The camera was in the van and I just took the binoculars. Ten yards off the road down a small path towards the railway, and only about twenty yards away, was a fox staring me out.
Dinas – 3
Early on the second morning I decided to locate at the far end of the reserve and stay for a couple of hours to see what turned up.
Dinas – 2
Two of the specialities of Dinas are the Redstart and the Pied Flycatcher, both in good numbers on and around the reserve.
Seed Dispersal
Swallows at Brianne
At the far end of the reservoir and towards the evening there were good numbers of swallows ‘hawking’ low over the water. They were also using a fence nearby  in between forays.

Herons at Regent’s Park
I was in London yesterday for a conference related to how the higher education sector can move towards a greener and more sustainable curriculum, something I’m really interested in.

Here’s a few of the birds photographed on the recent weekend to Dinnas and the surrounding hills.
Dinas and Llyn Brianne – Mid Wales
I spent last weekend working the area around Dinas, the RSPB reserve up in this part of the world. I parked up at Llyn Brianne and was out really early the following morning and caught some great light and mists that shrouded the landscape of this still wild area.
Avocets at RSPB Marshside
This is a reserve I love visiting, particularly at winter and this time of the year.
Walks With a Camera – Pen-y-Fan Pond
The ‘Lakes’ and Some Fine Light
Keeping It Simple
I was at the National Botanic Garden of Wales a couple of weeks ago and as the weather was so poor I was forced in doors, not a bad option as the place has the largest single span glasshouse in the world.
Great-crested Grebes: Day 2
The second day with the Grebes produced some interesting images and on a couple of occasions the birds went through the pre mating ritual before copulation.
Great-crested Grebes: Day 1
I’ve spent a couple of afternoons recently watching the Great-crested Grebes at Roath Park in Cardiff.
Brecon Beacons – The Quiet Way Up
Trefil and a Bit of Welsh History
A couple of weeks ago I went on a circular walk with a couple of friends around Trefil in the South Wales Valleys. It’s a walk that takes in so much variety and history in such a short distance, as well as providing some stunning panoramas over the Brecon Beacons.

A Couple of Days at Forest Farm, Cardiff; Day 2
I arrived again soon after nine with wonderful light and high optimism – but the day played out as before, only this time there were no Water Rails and the smaller birds were few and far between.
