Superb
walking weather here today.
Dry,
sunny with a refreshing sea breeze saw us walk from the caravan site
near Porthmadog to Criccieth.
A
real cracker of a walk.
Woodland
to start with, then cliff paths with gorse and small bushes for
company.
Some
little inlets with sandy beaches then the massive beach that
eventually leads into Criccieth with a smashing last 500 yds near the
railyway line where there were high cliffs and scrubland.
Birds:-
Whitethroats
in high numbers.
3
or 4 Raven some feeding on a dead sheep on the cliff tops.
Stonechat,
Reed Bunting, Sand Martin.
Single Ringed Plover.
Swift,
Little Egret.
In
the marina at Porthmadog the tide was coming in.
Sue
spotted the distant 'dot' of a Diver.
I
took a long stroll around the harbour walls to try get a photo.
The
bird constantly dived for long periods with a very short period on
the water.
The
rigging of the Yatchs were causing the camera to focus on anything
but the small dot.
Eventually,
though I was rewarded with a half decent photo of a …
Red-Breasted
Merganser a Lifer for me.
Brill!!
Difficult in shadow but I think they are both Oyks.
I suppose 'Yum,Yum' Welsh lamb is in bad taste.
First glimpse of Red Breasted Merganser
