Rhyl - Brickfield pond nature reserve - Denbighshire
Rhyl's Brickfield Pond, set in west Rhyl, is a local nature reserve popular for a range of recreational activities, including a 1km circular route of the pond. The site was once a clay pit, which was later filled in to create the Brickfield Pond we see today. It is a great place to feed the ducks and spot a variety of water birds including mallard, mute swan and moor hen. On occasions you may also see king fisher, grey heron and sand martin.

Dryslwyn Castle, South Wales by Drone (HD)
Dryslwyn Castle, South Wales built in the 1220s, sited on a rocky hill roughly halfway between Llandeilo and Carmarthen. It was demolished in the early 15th Century, presumably in an attempt to stop Welsh rebels using it again.

oil covered swans rescue (long version)
Five swans land in train oil dump (30.6.18 - Triaj - Ploiești train stop), rescue intervention and cleaning. Three of them survived and got released
———
Ro - În urmă cu două săptămâni ni s-a adus la cunoștință că lângă halta de tren Triaj - Ploiești există câteva lebede care au aterizat într-un iaz de decantare de produse petroliere de apoximativ 20 000 mp.
De asemenea, la 100 de metri de aceast iaz se găsește un lac natural plin de animale. Cel mai probabil din cauza furtunilor din perioada respectivă, lebedele au aterizat din greșală în iazul de decantare și nu în lacul natural.
Împreună cu partenerii de specialitate de la ARCA - Four Paws am intervenit și salvat 5 lebede acoperite în totalitate de produsele petroliere din iazul respectiv. Două dintre lebede se aflau într-o stare foarte gravă, înghițând din produsele petroliere. Acestea din păcate au murit la scurt timp după intervenție.
Odată capturate, am transportat lebedele la Centrul de Salvare și Reabilitare a Animalelor Sălbatice de lângă București, unde împreună cu colegii de la Wilderness Research and Conservation am început imediat un program de spălare și decontaminare specific. După trei astfel de proceduri, pe parcusul unei întregi săptămâni, am reușit să curățăm corespunzător lebedele, pe care, ulterior, le-am eliberat într-un mediu adecvat.
În urma acestei intervenții am sesizat Garda de Mediu pentru a investiga iazul de decantare Triaj - Ploiești și vecinătățile acestuia, și a lua măsurile necesare protejării biodiversității adiacente lui.
Vă rugăm faceți cunoscut acest caz pentru a pune presiune asupra autorităților și celor responsabili în gestionarea acestui iaz de decantare ce prezintă un risc înalt de contaminare ecologică.

Llyn Alwen Reservoir - North Wales
Some more aerial video from the quadcopter at Llyn Alwen up on the Denbigh Moors.
I could have done with a polarizing filter on the gopro, definitely on the list of extras for when I get a gopro3.
Thanks for watching.
The Alwen Reservoir or Cronfa Alwen is a 5km long reservoir near Pentre-Llyn-Cymmer in Conwy County Borough, North Wales. The bulk of the reservoir lies in Cerrigydrudion community, while the northern arm forms the boundary between Pentrefoelas, to the west, and Llansannan and Nantglyn, to the north and east. It is held back by the 27 metre high Alwen Dam, which impounds the Afon Alwen, and is 8km downstream from Llyn Alwen. It was built between 1909 and 1921, originally to supply water to the town of Birkenhead, near Liverpool. Today it is part of the River Dee regulation system and is operated by Welsh Water.

Go Pro Karma and hero 6 at West Kirby Hilbre Island wirral.
Took the go pro karma and hero 6 to west Kirby for the day as the sun was out. Haven't used it much since last summer and I forgot how good the hero 6 was. filmed in 2.5k.
The Hilbre Islands (/ˈhɪlbriː/ HIL-bree) are an archipelago consisting of three islands at the mouth of the estuary of the River Dee, the border between England and Wales at this point. The islands are administratively part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. They are a Local Nature Reserve and are within the estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest.[1][2] As of 2012, the islands have no permanent residents.
Hilbre Island, the largest of the group, is approximately 11.5 acres (47,000 m2; 4.7 ha) in area, and lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) from Red Rocks, the nearest part of the mainland of the Wirral Peninsula. The other two islands are Middle Eye (or in older sources Middle Island and on Ordnance Survey maps Little Hilbre), which is about 3 acres (12,000 m2; 1.2 ha) in size and Little Eye, which is considerably smaller. All three islands are formed of red Bunter sandstone. The main island and Middle Eye are less than a hundred yards apart.
Hilbre Island is one of 43 (unbridged) tidal islands that can be reached on foot from the mainland of Great Britain.[3] The island can be reached on foot from West Kirby at low tide; this is a popular activity with tourists, especially during the summer months. Little Eye and Middle Eye are both unpopulated, but Hilbre Island has a few houses, some of which are privately owned.
The islands are thought to have been occupied on and off since the Stone Age: several finds of Stone and Bronze Age items and Roman pottery items were discovered in 1926.
Hilbre Island may already have been a hermitage before the Norman invasion[7] or at least a place of pilgrimage[8] based around the lore of St Hildeburgh. In about 1080 a cell and church for Benedictine monks was established on Hilbre Island as a dependency of Chester Cathedral. Although not named directly, it is believed that all three islands were mentioned in the Domesday Book in which mention is made of Chircheb (West Kirby) having two churches: one in the town and one on an island in the sea.
The area was part of the lands of the Norman lord Robert of Rhuddlan. He gave the islands to the abbey at Saint-Evroul-sur-Ouche in Normandy, who in turn passed responsibility to the Abbey of St. Werburgh in Chester.[4] The island became a common place for pilgrimage in the 13th and 14th centuries. At the dissolution of the monasteries two monks were allowed to remain on the island, as they maintained a beacon for shipping in the river mouth. The last monk left the island in about 1550,[6] as it was no longer considered a sanctuary, having become a centre for commerce and a busy trading port – so much so that a custom house was established to collect taxes on the goods traded. John Leland briefly describes Hilbre Island in his Itineraries (c. 1538–43) and says that there was a Celle of Monkes of Chestre and a Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Hilbyri, though his contemporary description mentions only conies (rabbits) inhabiting the island.[9] William Camden wrote of Hilbre in Britannia (1586), the first chorographical survey of the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, as follows: In the utmost brinke of this Promontorie lieth a small, hungrie, barren and sandie Isle called Il-bre, which had sometime a little cell of monkes in it.[10]
In 1692 a small factory was set up to refine rock salt. There was also a beer house or inn, which was open when the writer Richard Ayton visited in 1813.[11] With the silting of the River Dee trade switched to ports on the River Mersey and the trade vanished from the island leading to the closure of the beer house; part of the structure of this building remains incorporated in the custodian's residence.
The islands were bought in 1856 by the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks, which later became known as the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. Hilbre Island Lighthouse was constructed here in 1927. The islands were sold to Hoylake Council in 1945 for £2,500, passing to Wirral Borough Council on its formation in 1974.
