Wales Nature 2011

Wales 2011 - Nature
We saw loads of stuff so there are a lot of photos to see. To make it easier, I've split the page into a few parts - this page shows some individual photos of the various plants, animals etc that we saw (just click where you'd like to go): Birds Seals and Cetaceans (dolphins etc) Plants & Bugs
We saw loads of birds - some quite far away so apologies for the poor quality of some of the photos. Also apologies for any that are wrongly labelled.

Moving away from flying things to swimming things, these jelly fish were swimming about where we got onto the boat. Very pretty but I bet they could sting.

		Back to top
Bugs and Plants -->	There were all sorts of bugs, beetles etc around

There were loads of wild flowers as well - very pretty



	It seems all sorts of bugs like these yellow flowers. We had one or two of the bright green beetle type insects join us when we were having our picnic lunch one day - they are quite pretty.

	Even snails are OK when they're not in my garden eating my veg!






		Some are more easily recognisable than others!
