It`s been three months since my last public-facing blog entry (I don`t get any better at it), but there`s been plenty going on behind the scenes.
A few snippets relating to my volunteering at WWT Llanelli first:
Next Saturday, 18th April, I will be taking the monthly "Walk with the Warden" again. This takes place on the third Saturday of every month, where we meet at the indoor Information desk at 11.30am, and then go out on to the Reserve for about an hour and a half or so.
We normally go out rain or shine, but may be subject to cancellation if there are high or potentially damaging winds.
Apologies that I couldn`t make it last month due to illness (I lost 9lb in four days!!), so it was lead by Brian, with Jim and Diana.
On Sunday, 19th April, I will be hosting a morning tide watch at 8am for some members of the WWT Llanelli Facebook Photo Club. This is an opportunity for some of those contributors who haven`t been on one before, and attendees have been notified.
High tide is round 8.12am, so just hope for some favourable weather! The attendance list is now "closed off", but I hope to do some further ones for Photo Club members during the year.
Going into May, and I will be involved with the two Dawn Chorus walks that are now bookable online.
These will take place at 6am on Sunday 2nd May, and Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May, and must be booked in advance (places are limited). Good footwear and suitable weatherproof clothing advised:

A final bit of WWT-related news is that a few weeks ago a video team from Slimbridge visited WWT Llanelli, and by chance I was asked if I would do a piece for them! (I happened to be walking through the cafe at the time when I was called over!!).
A few weeks later, the video has ended up in our Volunteers` newsletter `Marsh Mail` as a "Spotlight on colleague Russ Myners " . Oh dear. I`m afraid I was tongue-tied, looking totally unnatural, (i`m never one to do anything where you`ll see me online!) - but as I was asked to help, well ........... 😶

Don`t think it will win an Oscar somehow!
Thanks for looking in.
