The Blue Island of Ynyslas

Yesterday, Helen, my mum and I went to the sand dunes at Ynyslas and to see the Red Kites being fed. Both were great outings, but today I’m focussing on Ynyslas. It’s an absolutely gorgeous spot, situated at the point where the estuary of the river Dyfi meets Cardigan Bay. The dunes are full of fascinating wildlife including rare birds, mammals, lizards, butterflies and orchids. The views across the estuary, across the dunes and back along the coast to Borth are all breathtakingly beautiful.

I’m not really happy with any of these pictures so I intend to return soon to do better, but I hope these are sufficient to give the flavour of the place.

I love the third one! A nice spot, as you say.

I saw a red kite here a few weeks ago - thrilling.

I'll post about the Red Kites tomorrow. Unfortunately, none of my pics of them came out very well, but I have some good ones of the location.

Thankyou, Skip. Appreciating natural beauty is something we can all do more of.

You are most welcome :-)

I really love those dunes. They remind me of Chapel St Leonards in Lincolnshire where I spent much of my childhood.

Ooh, that's a good idea - I must try that myself. The beach just goes on and on, in both directions...I don't know exactly how long it is.

Tom.
