It's #LostWordsWednesday! The mystery species from last week's clues was of course the kingfisher! Congratulations to the winner of the signed copy of 'The Lost Words': Claire Hamilton. Did you know one place in Pembrokeshire you can find this often elusive bird is Carew Castle?

The Lost Words exhibition at St David’s @OrielyParc is just superb. My daughters were captivated by it @JackieMorrisArt . I also didn’t realise how local the inspiration was. #Pembrokeshire

Martin Hutchinson and his canine companion Starsky are on a world environment tour – today, they stopped at Oriel y Parc. We enjoyed hearing about Martin’s 16 year plus road trip and learning about his videos. Good luck ‘Starsky & Hutch’ for your future travels.
