Lovely few hours in Tenby yesterday with my sister being tourists. Even though it's August school holidays, still plenty of space to get around #Tenby #Pembrokeshire #beach #holidaytime #lifeboatstation

Castle Beach, Tenby with people enjoying the beach & sea. Plenty of sunbeds

Castle Beach, loading area for catching boats to Caldey Island

Views of the old lifeboat station which has been converted into a private dwelling in 2011. Could hear peregrine falcons near here, guessing a nest nearby

Llyn Llech Owain in search of nightjars. One sighted at 2130hrs on the Eastern side of the lake. Continued churring for approx 15 minutes, then the fog & drizzle descended #nightjar #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Visibility poor over the felled tree area which was covered in red campion and bracken

Mist over the lake which only had about 20 canada geese

It's back for the 3rd season. The Black-crowned night heron seen on the Reed-bed very early in the morning. It flew south & then doubled back to land somewhere between the Carp & Far lakes, so it may reveal itself later on

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

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

Other paths in the woods are under water and impassible

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

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 #HairIce #HairyIce #FrostBeard #IceWool
