Llanelli to Penclawdd August 22, 2017

What a sight this morning, el sol!  But, to relieve you of suspense, I will reveal that it did rain later on.



The things one finds on the path!



I stopped at the Llanelli Wetlands Center:


Facts: These Carribean flamingos are the largest of the six species of flamingos.  Adults eat 50,000 brine-fly larvae a day plus other invertebrates, seeds, and algae.  They live in saline lagoons with twice the saltiness of sea water, and, get this, they have a salt excreting gland above the eye.  Wish I could have gotten closer!





It is so cozy when you can tuck your bill under your feathers:



Black swans:




White swan:



Pretty black feet to match the pretty black bill:



Where is that tasty morsel?



Yellow eyes and a nice "hairdo:"



Really?




Man and Molly:
