I *finally* got around to putting this video together - videos from one of my wildlife cameras from 2023. It's amateur stuff, but then so am I!

First swallow sighting of the year! Just had one fly along the harbour wall in New Quay, west Wales. This is a week earlier than the last three years for me - it's previously been 5-7 April.

I spotted this leucistic crow on the pier at New Quay today. I've not seen it before, so I'm guessing it's new to the area.

Very distant Common Dolphin off the north coast of Anglesey. Photographed from the shore.
Went to find the Risso's Dolphins up on Anglesey this morning (it has become an almost annual pilgrimage). They didn't disappoint. Also a large pod of Common Dolphin feeding further out. Super cropped images, but they give you the idea. #dolphins #WelshWildlife #Anglesey
Oh my, what a find! 1m long sunfish! I spotted it as I was guiding a dolphin watching trip this afternoon. My best ever sighting of one! What a thrill!

Some photos from the last couple of days, including a seal pup less than a day old (possibly just a few hours), a shy seal (if I can't see you then you can't see me), a joyous dolphins and an oystercatcher (never known to catch oysters! Total misnomer).

I had a gannet flying around the boat as we watched some dolphins yesterday. The bright sunshine and clear sky gave me an almost x-ray vision of it as it flew directly overhead!

The #puffin season is coming to an end on #skomerisland. Every year I say βIβm all puffinβd outβ but every year I just have to make that pilgrimage!

πβπ« Dryad's saddle.
π³ Youβll start to see this bracket fungus growing out of the trunks of trees from May until the autumn.
πͺΆ Its nickname is βpheasants back' because the pattern and colour of the fungusβs surface resemble the feather pattern of a pheasant.

πΊ Rhododendron.
Itβs pretty - but this invasive species can wipe out other woodland plants.
Iβve noticed itβs started spreading in the woods I visit.

π©΅ I found a pair of blue tits feeding chicks in a woodland nest box this morning.
πͺΊ Last year I had a pair nest in my garden. The chicks fledged but a predator kept trying to rip the nest box lid open in the night.

From kingfishers to kites, the Rheidol Valley is a sanctuary of sound, color, and story. Iolo Williams guides us through it with wonder and care.

A relatively quiet day at the Llyn Brenig nest today. Fish deliveries, frequency of mating increasing, preening, nesting. All pretty relaxed.
