May was a very quiet month weather wise with low rainfall and no frosts. As I write (10th June) there has been no rain for two weeks and the water levels in local streams and rivers are very low. A kayak trip along the north and south coasts of the Lleyn Peninsula was rewarded with sightings of Bottle-Nosed Dolphins and large numbers of Razorbills,Guillemots and Kittiwakes nesting on the steep cliffs. Swarms of Garden Chafers can be seen flying over the grassy fields and lawns providing a tasty feast for the nesting birds feeding hungry chicks. Our Pied Flycatchers are doing well; all eight eggs hatched and the chicks look fine.Lots of newts have been found in the Dol y Moch slimy pond!
