SPRING

The rain still falls and raindrops hang onto the new Catkins, The Alder trees have many Catkins.  I love to see the sun shining through the water droplets.
The temperature is rising slowly but its still chilly, cold enough for a morning frost.
Visiting a garden centre where Daffodils are on mass, a few are out in the garden, the double ones come first.

PWLLHELI MARINA

7th March 2015
Tide out in the harbour and a smart sub species Cormorant fishing along side a pair of Red-brested Mergansers.
Flocks of Dunlin feeding, Redshank peeling their feet out of the mud yet finding feed as well.  Two Little Egrets flying across the water and  being mobbed by a Black-headed Gull.  Herring Gulls already paired up sheltering from the gale amongst the seaweed, one or two juvenile BBGulls still showing their first feathers.
The Kingfisher missing from its tree and no sign of it on the large pipe by the bridge,  I will be looking again soon.
