All the Way from Cornwall

Whole mass of cars with canoes parked up today bringing canoeists from Cornwall.

Panoramic View from Tregele

Two photographers set up tripod and take some panoramic shots from the Tregele junction looking west towards the fields. The earlier consultation describes an earth bank in the field to shield noise and view of the construction site for residents of Tregele. But the visualisation of what that would look like were none existent. Perhaps this is to create better reference points for residents?

The current view is of Anglesey countryside, flanked by AONB coastline.
The petrol station might get relocated further down the road to the south. But the view of the setting sun might get lost!

Better weather today. Great.

Lighthouse and Power Station disappear in the Weather

Dreadful mist and rain today. Lighthouse and power station disappear!
No terns yet - just as well as its cold and very wet!

Disappearing Animals

Didn't have a camera today - the shots below were taken on 12 March - had I had a camera I could have shown you a hare in the field behind the wall, and a pair of common lizards basking in late afternoon sunshine on top of the wall. Wonder if they have been seen by the ecologists doing their survey work for Horizon?

The small lily is a rare garden escape which is still clinging on in the wild. There used to be a mass of them all along the wall - either they have died in the wet, or cold winters, or people have been stealing them to take home!
