The Safari has been on a bit of a cross country trek. The first leg was a run down to Pembrokeshire to have a few days wildlifing while Wifey went to work in their office down that way.
On the drive down through mid-Wales of course we came across Red Kites (147)
Our Extreme Photographer took us through the lanes and byways to all manner of great places to find us Cuckoo (148), Dartford Warbler (149) (he saw we only heard it singing deep in a Gorse bush on a very cold and windy morning), Yellowhammer (150), Chough (151) and Willow Tit (152) (on his garden feeders).
Here's a few pics from our trip:-
