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 Pond is flooded out over the path Other paths in the woods are under water and impassible

The sky was blue and the sun shone, certainly made the Robin sing. However I couldn't see him. Always a pleasure to hear #Robin #song

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

Loving the snow on the beach yesterday. So lucky to be able to walk around without the fear of falling on black ice.

Now that the water levels are dropping on the river Towy, I caught up with the whooper swans, 2 x black swans and located 5 x pink-footed geese amongst the greylags & canada. Goosanders, kingfisher and green sandpipers too.

Highlight was a male hen harrier and marsh harrier along Pembrey Burrows and a lovely walk back along the beach with thousands of oystercatchers and gulls at sunset. A beautiful 3 mile walk on a gorgeous day. Not many of them this month

The sun shone, the birds sang 'thank heavens it's a dry day' at Kidwelly Quay. Plenty of snipe, a few thousand golden plover, lots of lapwing and redwing too. They too must be fed up with all the rain #snipe #goldenplover #lapwing #redwing #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Still struggling to find the snow bunting on my patch but did find the northern wheatear. It was happily feeding on worms amongst the cow pats in the paddock. It does have a poorly right foot though #NorthernWheatear #Wheatear #CarmsBirds #PembreyBurrows #ThatsALateOne #BirdingWales
