Barmy Weather O/T

Yes it's off-topic .... sort of! I've just spent a lovely day having a picnic on Three Cliffs Bay (Gower) under clear blue skies. While the rest of Britain shivered and shovelled snow, our little bit of South Wales was toasty-warm out of the breeze. On the way to the beach I saw a couple of kingfishers - and then did a double-take. There was an Egret fishing in the stream! A quick 'phone call destroyed the wonder of the moment - apparantly the Egrets are getting to be common in these parts because of climate change. Over 3000 in the area this year - the biggest colony near Loughor being 135 strong. It seems that the birds have also noticed that the growing/feeding season is getting longer and the winters shorter and milder. |
