TRESAITH Five-hour walk between Tresaith and Llangrannog. Walking at the foot of the cliffs between Tresaith and Penbryn, two oystercatchers bleat to each other. The closer I get, the higher the pitch and then they start flying around agitatedly.
Coming within four or five yards of my head, first thought they were being friendly but then realise I must be close to the pair's nest.
Still a wonderful sight though, beatiful red/pink beaks like long thin pencils. Lovely pinky webbed feet. Their trademark bleats given further resonance and intensity as they echo off the cliffs - it could have been a bit Hitchcocky but I was mesmerised.
