What a surprise! Badger culling doesn't work and the government can't analyse data correctly!

I knew there were drumlins in the N and NW of Anglesey. But lidar really brings it home just how many there are!

First two images: Roman fort, Caer Lêb, Anglesey.
Second two: Castell Bryngwyn, a Bronze Age henge that saw use in the Roman and Mediaeval period, 840m to the SW of Caer Lêb.
Both sites imaged this morning (photos my (C)).

If the authorities want people to take more heed of storm conditions, they have to not only better inform but *reliably* inform.
Exaggerated claims only lead to the opposite of what is being attempted.
The warnings about 70mph gusts for Anglesey were always a bit suspect for Claudia - and were not realised; they barely exceeded 50mph.

Though the BBC and S4C, for which the BBC is responsible, have run a couple of good investigative pieces, it now seems to have lost interest in a sexual abuse case relating to former headteacher and local 'big man', Neil Foden, who was jailed for 17 years last year.
The pattern of these things is curious: lots of interest for a while, then some of the media and the authorities thinks it's better if we ' just move on'. Tell that to the victims.

I wonder if anyone can help me identify this rock type, which is a very pale, cream-white layer in-between some harder rock. It lies pretty much at the interface between Ogwen and Marchlyn silt/mudstones on the western flanks of Cwm Pennant (eastern Nantlle ridge).
As it is in the water, it's clearly very soft and easily eroded. I could dig into it with a fingernail quite easily, broadly like dried-out clay. 🙏

Much BBC Cumbria clickbait excitement at the mountains of Eryri in Wales being photographed from Cumbria.
I guess I should have told them I can see Cumbria from north Anglesey on many days in a year, especially in winter.
This is from 2016, when backlighting made Cumbria especially clear from Mynydd Parys (200mm lens):

A local council wanted my identification papers to respond to a SAR this week.
'Just send it in an email to us', they bleated.
Er, no, said I. It's not encrypted and a severe security risk. I won't do it.
'Oh, if you send a password in a separate email, we can do it that way'.
Er. Thanks, but I'll bring them in in person.
Little wonder Russia and our other enemies find it so easy to attack UK IT systems.

I'm rarely prompted to make a complaint to OFCOM.
But Nick Ferrari, at 09:46BST today, casually threw-in the assertion, in relation to protesters against the genocide in Gaza, that "much of it is driven by hatred towards Israel".
Utter, unsupported drivel that does rather characterise Ferrari's populist-themed programme.

Some of the longest virga formations I've ever seen this afternoon.

It's odd that journalists are variously expressing surprise and obtaining scoops about Nathan Gill's links to Russia.
Nation.Cymru broke this story in, er, 2023, apparently to almost no interest from other news outlets:

Gill, once a 'bishop' in the local Mormons, was always in the news, not least for his merry use of many foreign workers in his family business:

A big shout out to all physiotherapists. True, caring geniuses that really know their trade and understand that, if it can be avoided, medication isn't the long-term answer to musculoskeletal problems and their associated pain. 🙏

"Why, Lord, didst thou make Cwm Pennant so beautiful and the poor shepherd's life so short?"
(Ending to 'Cwm Pennant' poem, Eifion Wyn, 1867-1926).
