No I know this is a seal, but it could have been a Risso's
Gannet
Gannet - OK it's not a Risso's but first time I have managed to get a Gannet so I was chuffed
Ha, could be four here
The ponies were waiting too
Thought the brown one looked a little bored
View across the bay from Point Lynas, sorry no Dolphins, well one did surface only to disappear and after waiting for two hours
I decided to leave. They probably returned after 4.00 knowing my luck.
Bye for now
Lot to learn
Lovely seal photos to compliment the initial post.

Let's see if I can add this latest walk on here, a trip over to Malltraeth Cob just in case the Osprey was still around yesterday.
The tide was coming in and it was a lovely walk, no Osprey but I managed a few pics
Cormorant, is it immature?
I watched it take off and it flew overhead so I couldn't not take a chance
I followed these in flight too, think they are Linnets
Wrong order, after flying over it took a drink :-)
Pintail ? I'm hopeless with waders
Will add a few more tomorrow, have to go now for dinner with family
bye for now
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Brilliant additions Gaynor, and looking forward to the continuation. Hope you all enjoyed the dinner.
Thanks you all very much, yes I had a lovely dinner, a birthday celebration. The trouble is the older these Grandchildren become the older I am too!!!!! Never mind, it led to three nights away babysitting so am back home now and will add a few more of the pics I took that day near Newborough on the walk across the Cob.
Curlew, one lonesome
Linnets I believe, plus the Egret and upside down Swan
More of the Linnets having a flypast
Young Swan, I thought it was a Goose but spoke to a young man who put me right :-)
Also could these be Curlew Sandpiper? there were supposed to be about five around, playing with the Dunlin
Not clear photos I know but the best I could do.
Had to go back and insert these Linnets when they landed
I was chatting to this young man about the Osprey that had been in the area, he had been over to the Spinnies and showed me a couple of the pics he had taken, along with myriads of other folk all with the big lens apparently., the Osprey was over there and what a terrific bird it is, so glad to have seen such pictures. By the way, this gentleman had only spent a day with Iolo Williams up in Scotland - I am still green :-)
Such is life, - good ain't it :-)
