Not a very good one, it is the light.
Please can you sign this petition to stop the proposed M4 over the Gwent Levels. I feel strongly about this because it is a place I visit a lot. The damage to the Gwent Levels along with Magor Marsh and the Newport Wetlands will be irreparable!
Please look at my website bobswildlife.co.uk. There is a photo of a Common Sandpiper, and the Jackdaw by Callum in the 'Guest photographer'
