Today we started the day by visiting Pembroke Castle as the morning forecast wasn't great,with drizzle forecast.
This castle is well known as the birthplace of Henry Tudor,or Henry V11,the father of the Tudor dynasty.
After visiting this very impressive building we then moved onto the lovely little fishing village of Fishguard,with it's pretty harbour and nearby Goodwick is where you can catch the ferry across to Rosslare in Ireland.
The final place we visited was the impressive Strumble Head,with some outstanding views of the lighthouse and seacliffs,what a great place.
Wildlife sightings from the day included 4 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls and 2 Black Guillemot in Goodwick Harbour,the latter which breed locally and were really great to see,Peregrine and Grey Wagtail also here and at Strumble 2 Chough,35 Manx Shearwater,3 juvvie Wheatear,5 Grey Seal and 3 Harbour Porpoise.
The following are the best photos from the day.
