Birding in the mountains between Bala and Trawsfynydd.
The streams and rivers were so high!
Highlight was a pair of Peregrines.

A good morning watching the Fallow Deer rut on Cannock Chase.
The bucks were constantly scenting the air for does in heat and pestered likely candidates relentlessly.
Fights breaking out sporadically between rival bucks.

Enjoying a slightly damp (but improving) view of the bay for what promises to be a great Criccieth Community Fireworks Display at Dylan's Seafood Restaurant tonight.

I checked through my other photos and dragged out 'U7' as the yellow ring number.

Yup, I've fiddled with a few of the other shots .... it does look like U7.

I had a good afternnoon @rspbcymru.bsky.social Cors Ddyga today.
Just about caught the Glossy Ibises before they flew off for a couple of hours.
Little Stint also.
The marshes are nicely full of water, unlike a month ago.

Curlew Sandpipers at RSPB Conwy.
Fantastic afternoon at RSPB Conwy yesterday.
Dipped on Wood Sandpiper (again 🤣) but caught up with the 3 Curlew Sandpipers and had superb views of a Little Stint.
Tea and Bara Brith to finish 😋
