A Short Trip to South Wales

Here are some pix from a short trip to South Wales in June.

All these pix were taken with my Fujifilm Finepix s8000fd

Please note that the dormouse photo was taken under the auspices of the Gwent Wildlife Trust, during their monthly dormouse nestbox survey. The dormouse is being held by one of their licenced handlers. It is an imprisonable offence in the UK to handle or photograph dormice without a licence. Flash is strictly forbidden as dormice are nocturnal and the light would damage their eyes.
