I've started a twitter account for my photography! Feel free to follow if you would like to see pics of plants, birds, other animals, and landscapes. Maybe the odd human now and again. I'll try to provide photographic information. All photos CC BY-NC-SA. https://t.co/YXUFuYXvkD

@neild1962 There was no-one in the visitor centre, so I left it at the coffee van. Gave them your name. Glad I could find it for you!

No worries about not chatting; I wasn’t in the mood to chat really anyway. Just to enjoy the quiet beauty of the morning.

@neild1962 hi, I picked up a 72mm lens cap in Kenfig just now. I think I saw you earlier so it might be yours (matches size of RX10 lens). I’m going to come to the hide in case you’re there; otherwise I’ll leave it at the visitor centre.

[TKA Photography @TKA_Photos]

@neild1962 I’ll leave it with one of those and let you know which :-)

[TKA Photography @TKA_Photos]

@neild1962 Yes, sorry, I meant afternoon! I’ll introduce myself next time 😅
