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:

Woman and dog-named-after-grandfather:
