In the face of unrelenting rain today we went to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhib at Aber Arts Centre(finishes on 14th)...fantastic pics though I reckon Janet's starling pics as good as some of the black and white entries. Worth going just to see the 'merlin with snipe as prey' .On the way home had to walk Toffy down the railway line and at Maes LLyn lake were 2 male piedys. Brown primaries and tiny headlights so not an alpha male but here in time to grab an empty nestbox!
Also a wren building in a tussock in the middle of some heavy scrub cutting on the north bog.
