Having left South Stack we headed to RSPB Cors Ddyga, a reserve of big skies and wide open spaces, sightings of note, Sedge Warblers, lots of Lapwings and Lapwing Chicks, a cracking Marsh Harrier which sadly stayed far away and some very big fish, which I think are Mullet!!

| I think Mullet,was a shoal of about 20 |
 |
| Think this might be a Whimbrel |
 |
| Some of the Ducklings don't get eaten straight away |

A very nice reserve, although colder than of late, due to the wind and me being to lazy to go back to the car for a sweatshirt!! a T-shirt was not enough😱!!
Next stop was dinner and then on to the Dingle for Red Squirrels which it has to be said performed amazingly well, we saw at least 3 but probably 4 individuals. Last time we went there were some sort of official feeding stations, these seem to have gone, but it looked like several local people have taken over! Which is handy from a photography point of view, they are tricky little blighters but we persevered and got a few reasonable shots, though I had to spend half the time deleting pictures from the SD card I had filled up earlier in the day, bloody Choughs!! 😁
Anyway a few shots of the Charismatic little blighters below, you know it's not going to be a few don't you!😁😁😁

| Hello! |

| Cheeky fella! |
 |
| Something not to it's taste! |
Remarkable restraint on my part considering!!!
It wasn't just Squirrels the reserve had some nice birds as well and the Bluebells were beautiful looked lovely!

It really is a pleasant little reserve and possibly one of the best places to see Red Squirrels in the UK!
