Peacocks are beauty n colors. this was caught recently from Parambikulam WLS/TR recently.
Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary recently been upgraded as Tiger Reserve, one of de Best forested areas in Southern India itself. Though it belongs to de State of Kerala, but the access is from Tamilnadu (neighboring state) only and this is claimed for better protection!!! Once a well protected area, due to its inaccessibility and surrounded by other reserve forests which gives additional protection apart from Tourism!! Only extremely interested people can visit the sanctuary thru the neighboring state!!
Lined with large teak plantations, grasslands, wet deciduous forests and semi-evergreen forests, its one of the best wildlife parks in India where you can see almost the entire peninsulas fauna n flora. Famous for Gaur, de highest population of the same in the country can be seen there, apart from elephants, spotted n Sambar deers, sizable population of birds n reptiles n larger carnivores like the leopard n tiger. leopard n bear sightings are a common thing in the area. Recent upgradation as Tiger Reserve must have given additional support for the habitat but all apart from this the large number of peacocks clearly shows degradation of natural habitat!!
Peacocks are a bird of drier areas and their presence is NOT a welcome sight. This was once my home - did many interesting studies including the largest venomous snake's breeding biology - The King Cobra!! Used to visit every three months from abroad just to share few days with the inhabitants there. Sad to note that the habitat is changing...... it pains n hurts.. ...
Built in 1776 but inactive since 1883 when replaced by a lightship. . The round brick tower is 58 feet tall and has been private property for over 100 years. Located on the beach about one half mile from the Point of Ayr and once marked the entrance to the River Dee estuary. Water laps at the lighthouse base at high tide.
The whole surrounding area is a nature preserve.
This was the last stop on our tour of Welsh lighthouses, as we soon crossed over into England and the approaches to Liverpool.

The entry gate.
Built in 1835 by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board,, although the station was established in 1779. The structure looks more like a castle than a lighthouse. The lantern room is at ground level with an observation window just above, all in the front of the castellated main building. The whole structure is surrounded by a high stone wall. The light signal is a white light, 8 seconds on and 2 off.
The lighthouse was transferred to Trinity House in 1973 and sold and made into a B and B in 2000.
Located on Point Lynas about one mile from the village of Llaneilian..
