Saw a sparrowhawk (I think) hunting in its natural habitat (the seaside adventure golf course). I took a superb photo (my best yet!).
Honestly one of the worst photos ever. Some bushes and shrubs and lampposts, a fence, and barely visible , a brown splodge perched on the fence which I promise you is a bird.

I'm no mathematician but I'm fairly sure this is not how six works.
This line from a poem by Guto'r Glyn suggests that visitors to Valle Crucis regularly took part in worship in the abbey church. A couplet from the same poem emphasizes Abbot Dafydd's personal role in celebrating mass, in describing his 'six fingers' (two fingers and a thumb, on each hand) raising the consecrated bread:
