A few pics from our Flickr group that have caught my eye this week....
First up this dreamy landscape shot by Ian Dyer taken at Blaen y Glyn Falls in the Brecon Beacons. Blaen-y-Glyn has a popular walking trail which also takes in Caerfanell Falls, Nant Bwrefwr and Torpantau Falls.

Two young cormorants in the nest by Hefin Owen.
Hefin Owen snapped these two young cormorants on the nest. Cormorant chicks feed once a day by sticking their beaks up inside their parents mouths and swallowing the regurgitated fish.
It's no easy task photographing kingfisher as they're so fast in flight but this one sat still long enough for Emil Pix.

Not particularly rare but rarely seen, this smooth or common newt was captured by Jeff Cohen. Smooth newts are normally found lurking in the murky depths of garden ponds but if you're patient enough - you can watch and wait as they will eventually come up for air.
