Cormorant in shade, looking deep blue with white feathers speckling neck, crest and yellow and white patches behind its bill.

Cormorant head and body in sunshine on the Tawe with white feathers developing on top of its head and neck, bright blue eyes and yellow and white on its face behind its bill

The cormorants were very active fishing on the Tawe yesterday - and starting to look very colourful as breeding plumage develops!

#Swansea #Tawe

On this mighty warm evening a fine crowd of around 30 curious guests came to see what #FriendsofHafodMorfaCopperworks had to show them in east #Swansea near the mighty River #Tawe. In my group, from start to finish:

Shot taken from remains of a copper smelting works, largely cleared in the 60’s looking over grass towards an old stone quay by the river which curves broad and blue into the distance. There’s a rowing eight in the middle of the river, leafy trees either side and a blue sky.

Morning folks 😎☕️
An 8 on the sunny River #Tawe yesterday.
Pic taken from what was once the heart of #Swansea’s world-leading copper industry. Now all green with cowslips. 💚

The Big River Watch starts tomorrow! Download the app and go record what you see in and on your local river.
We're watching the #Tawe #Abertawe 🦆

Male cormorant wet from fishing in the Tawe river water below the barrage in Swansea. He’s surrounded by white foam.

A male cormorant in splendid breeding plumage with white feathering over his head and neck and a punk style blacj crest at the back of the head. Pictured in full sun there’s an iridescent green sheen on his black neck and chest.

Is it #Cormorant Friday? It is now!
Couldn’t resist this male in breeding plumage in the sunshine yesterday by the #Tawe barrage. And another busy fishing 💙

White broken reflection with spidery black scribble-like reflection in sky blue river water.

Long icicles formed as water drips through a mossy bank.

Icicles are twice-icles as nice-icles! #Tawe valley #Swansea

View down the River Tawe with broken cloud blue sky reflected in calm waters, a semi-circle of large stones across the river creating a low weir effect and triple-frosted bare trees lining both banks and reflected in the river.

It’s a grey windy #Swansea Saturday so here’s the River #Tawe yesterday up the valley running clear and healthy before the sewage is pumped into it. Have a good day 😊👋
