Always within metres of water. Flitting between Cemlyn Bay (NW Anglesey), the middle of the Menai Strait (SE Anglesey), and the River Thames in Oxford.

Pretty grim heading east across Menai … just took 40 minutes from MB town to Britannia Bridge. Closure emphasises the vulnerability of this ‘bottleneck’. Surely its time to invest in the resilience of a 3rd crossing?

Britannia Bridge Congestion updates ⚠️ We have heavy congestion on the bridge heading eastbound. This extends to Llansadwrn and Menai Bridge in the East and Star and Plas Llanfair to the West with estimated congestion times up to an hour. #TrafficWalesAlert

Crikey. Close to all, including pedestrians and cyclists. So we now need to get in a vehicle in order to cross the Strait? Or (please) can pedestrians walk across Britannia? The traffic is already terrible.

Menai Bridge to close for months for emergency maintenance works dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wal…

It’s mid July, when the #sunset is perfectly framed in Cemaes Bay #anglesey


Llandudno as we have never seen it …


This annual plant loves it under our ash trees, but is ‘invasive’, now dominating in 1 area, & spreading fast. Clues re ID appreciated. Flowers tiny & white. 20-50cm. Probably common & obvious, but this is a new species for our woodland, so we are nervous it’s another Crocosmia!

This wee tree, year 1, six inches high, has popped up on our regenerating heath. Native or not? Desirable or not? ID help needed please - it’s not something we recognise! @BSBICymru @IrishRainforest

We're thrilled to share our campaign video for the #LostRainforestsofBritain 🌱🌳 Few people know Britain is home to temperate rainforest, even fewer know they're under threat and are in desperate need of protection. Please watch and share. 📺👇

Sowing our lawn with white clover is paying dividends, with brown hares grazing dawn and dusk, and common blue butterflies mating. I guess we are going to have to mow less often :-) @ukbutterflies

Unusual scenes at Cemlyn bay last night, with bovine disturbance of the tern colony! After a swim across the lagoon for fresh munchies, they were safely driven back home @AngleseyScMedia @AngBirdNews

The very lovely #BarcombeBridge now has its very own Twitter account... @BarcombeBridge You can follow along with their plight to stop @NationalHways infilling with 1000t of concrete and attempting to stop bats roost. Shocking huh.

Really sad to see the casual destruction of these tree roots (and probably these trees) on the Ysbyty Gwynedd site. We doubt these semi-mature pines will last a year. Couldn’t this trench have gone somewhere else? @GreenHWales @YGGreenGroup @BetsiCadwaladr @DrTomDowns

Hi @biffa … have you mislaid these bins? They’re easy to find, right in front of a fine bridge listed grade 1 by @cadw “as an exceptional example of early C19 engineering work, remarkable for its structural virtuosity and the resulting aesthetic effect.” Please collect soon.

Bit of a seawatch off Lligwy this afternoon I had 2 manxie extremely close in, plenty of terns, and 3 Whimbrel going past. Also saw this forecasting Stone 🤣

Goody!

Great news...we are back in the pub business! Our old pubs The White Eagle and The Oyster Catcher in Angelsey have come back in to family, and the good days are back!

A Penrhyn slate fence. The mud and sand of Traeth Lafan. A fast changing sky on May Day evening. Looking towards Trwyn Penmon and Ynys Seiriol, from Pentre-du near Abergwyngregyn. Psychological and physical self-management during lockdown.

Ynys Seiriol and Pen y Gogarth, from Coed Gyfynys near Aber-Ogwen. The colours, the textures, the shapes. Sublime. Part of an evening lockdown walk along the @WalesCoastPath

An evening walk through @TreborthBG woods reveals the forlorn but clearly very well built Britannia Bridge station building, last used in 1858. Much more info at the fantastic disused-stations.org.uk/b/britannia_br…
