Atlantic Grey Seals resting on Skomer.  json validator validateHow mental is Wildlife. The Puffins Razorbills left in june early july. So if i visit again will plan it around that as the cliffs are aparantly full of colour over 30,000 Puffins on Skomer during that time. Guy on the boat said when the Puffins leave to head further north up the Atlantic Iceland etc they dont touch land until back here next year. |

Come on chaps Deeside Patrick. Let's here your wildlife stories.
Btw I've come on this trip just to photograph Wildlife. As Wildlife is probably my biggest passion especially conservation.

North of Aberystwyth and South of Barmouth. Quite a decent place if small, arriving from the south, get to Cadair Idris and turn left. 👍 |

Im very envious I'd love to live this way or anymore from here to Cornwall. Just by the coast I would love to be honest. May 2019 after I was made redundant from my job in Butt Lane, it's my second time living here having worked for the narrow gauge railway located here before. My place is very close to the beach, ok when it's sunny but grim on a day like today!. |

Beautiful in the summer but come Sept to March bet these places are hit hard. |

I've cleaned the board up and removed some of the larger attachments to make a bit of room. If possible, could you try and reduce the file size of your attachments so they're no bigger than 200kb. Suspect you might have to do the same again if possible dave, I'm having the same problem as last time uploading photos, I was going to blame the Welsh weather. |

There's still plenty of room, but some people are still posting photos that are way larger than 200kb. Please try and resize your photos before you post them. |

The settings I'm using are the same as usual and there wasn't a problem, I'll have a go another way. 👍 |

Not far from here and worth a look is the Dyfi Osprey Project. Webcams are positioned right next to the nest and it makes for great viewing. Unfortunately the last bird left a couple of days ago but the videos available are very good. They'll be back next year. |

A short drive up the coast is Fairbourne with it's own 15" gauge railway. Used to be horse drawn in Victorian times with a small ferry across to Barmouth which still runs today.  |

There's still plenty of room, but some people are still posting photos that are way larger than 200kb. Please try and resize your photos before you post them. Got it all sorted. I've worked out that if I sit in the car in the local Coop car park with laptop and portable wifi device everything works much better.   |

If anyone ever bumps into us in Q railing feel free to say hello.  A very Happy 94th Birthday to you, Papa Chuff! 🍸 xxxxx (That's a cocktail glass, not a shuttlecock.) When normal service is resumed re. fans' high attendance at footie games, Uncle Pete should lay on a brilliant lunch for you both + Rolls Royce travel there & back. See to it, Scholesy! |
