Day 7 - 30 Days Wild - Lunchtime Safari


* Today's random act of wildness - Lunchtime Safari *

After reading Chris Packham's 'Wild Side of Town' it encouraged me to go and look around the City of Swansea for wildlife for my lunch break. It's quite a busy city, so I was so please with what I found within the hour...

Lots of feral pigeons...
...and some more!

It's also my sister's birthday today, so happy birthday June - Some more good news is my local Swan's cygnets hatched today, they still on the nest so we don't know how many there are - Here's a pic of them last year from 30 Days wild - Day 14!

Day 20 - 30 Days Wild - An evening at Crymlyn Burrows

For Day 20 we ventured down to Crymlyn Burrows, Swansea Bay for the evening. The weather was a bit dull and it was very windy - but we still managed to see a number of awesome things.
