0:01:47 > 0:01:53- It all started about 17 years ago - in 2001.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59- I visited the Llechwedd quarry - near Blaenau Ffestiniog.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- I was inspired by a recording...
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- ..that was being played - in the quarry.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- The song was about quarrymen - who lived over a century ago.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20- There was a real community spirit - in the sound of the quarryman.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26- From that point, I was charmed - by the Welsh language and culture.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- It was also at that time you met - someone in a petrol station.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- On my way home...
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- ..I made the mistake of asking - this man in North Wales...

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- He didn't think I could.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- What exactly did he say to you?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- He said, - "You've got no chance, mate!"
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- I can't copy the accent.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- That's your normal accent.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08- None of your family can speak Welsh.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Nobody in my family is Welsh.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Where did you start?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Who taught you?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- My tutor is Llinos Griffin.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- She's an incredible person.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28- Llinos is a filmmaker.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- She has the ability and talent...

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- She's wonderful.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Did learning the language - come easy to you?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- It isn't easy to learn the language - and it was challenging.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- A lot of people say that learning - the Welsh language is impossible.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- You've proved the man - in the petrol station wrong.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- You don't just speak the language - of heaven, but sing it.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- ..which is a word I'd associate - with the music of Brazil.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- The word, "saudade" - is a Portuguese word...
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- ..that refers to a feeling - of longing or melancholy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- It's just like the Welsh word - of "Hiraeth".
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- You don't get the full meaning - of "Hiraeth" if you translate it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- No, that's right.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- ..as you only have - a green screen behind you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- It's great when there are - a few sunny days in the forecast...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- ..but sometimes, it's best not to - head outdoors in stormy weather.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- As well as the drizzle, low cloud - and the mist, it's quite dismal...
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- ..but temperatures will reach - 13 degrees in Wrexham.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- The worst thing about being - a weatherperson...
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- ..is people accusing you - of getting the forecast wrong.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- But we're rarely wrong.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59- So far, I've been lucky - not to suffer any mishaps.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- My earpiece fell out...
0:08:04 > 0:08:10- ..and it's vital for us - to hear the timings.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- I couldn't hear anything...
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- ..so I didn't know - if I should stop talking.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24- Therefore, I ended my broadcast - by handing over to the news team.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- But there was 20 seconds to spare...

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- The concept - of the Cardiff Coat Exchange...

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- It was tragic...

0:10:27 > 0:10:31- The title of Coat Exchange suggests - we're asking for coats...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- ..but we need things - to keep people warm...

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Describe your very unique work.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- My interest stems from using items - from charity shops.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20- I use clay to fill the gaps...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- ..where the two moulds meet.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- Would you like to do the next part?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- Would you like to do the next part?- - Yes, lovely.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Do I roll it first?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Do I roll it first?- - Yes, roll it into a sausage shape.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Does it go here?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Does it go here?- - Yes, press it into the gap.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- As soon as that's done, the slip - from the bucket is poured in.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43- What's that mixture?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- What's that mixture?- - It's a mixture of clay and water.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- It's poured into the mould and - left for ten minutes...
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- ..and then poured out.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Does it fill the shape inside?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Does it fill the shape inside?- - Yes, so it's like a layer of clay.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- That's the first process...
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- ..and it's left to dry - like this piece here.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Wow!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- What's the next step?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- After removing the mould...
0:19:18 > 0:19:23- ..I cut off the excess clay - with a craft knife.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- This is left to dry - and that takes two to three days.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- It's fired in the kiln twice.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41- It starts with a bisque firing that - reaches 1,000 degrees Celsius...
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- ..followed by a glaze firing - at a higher temperature.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- This is what it looks like after - it's been fired twice in the kiln...
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- ..once at 1,000 degrees Celsius and - then at a higher temperature.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- It's ready to use and you can - put water in it after it's glazed.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- It takes a long time - to make one piece.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- It takes days for items to dry - and for the kiln to cool.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- Do you ever make mistakes?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Yes, and mistakes - are very annoying...
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- ..as it takes time - to make one piece.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- The glaze could stick - to the kiln shelf...
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- ..and the piece is ruined!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- What's next for your business?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- I've been to a fair in London...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- ..where I spoke to galleries - and got orders.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46- I've also had interest - from Switzerland and Belgium...
0:20:46 > 0:20:51- ..and I've got an exhibition - at Galeri, Caernarfon this summer...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- ..before the Christmas fairs.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59- Your work is amazing - and I'd like a few pieces myself.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- If you want to do it, you can.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- If you want to do it, you can.- - I don't want to do it!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- I've never done anything like this.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Do what you can, - just do your best.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Woah!
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Oh my goodness!

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Push your bottom back.- - I can't do this.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- You're doing so well.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- You're doing so well.- - Ah, something bit me!

0:22:47 > 0:22:52- Mam always told me to keep my feet - on the ground, that's what I'll do.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- I've enjoyed your company, but I - don't want to see you for a year.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Hooray!

0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Welcome back.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Next, we head to the - Prynhawn Da kitchen...
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- ..to sample Lisa Fearn's - tasty lasagne.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Enjoy.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Let's start the process.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- I've fried some mince - and red onions in a pan.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- You can use any onion or even leeks.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Onions and leeks - are from the same family.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15- What mince are you using?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- What mince are you using?- - I've got some minced beef.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23- You can use chicken or turkey mince - to reduce the fat.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I've added some beef stock - to the pan...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- ..as it has been frying - for a long time.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37- I'm using quality meat - so it doesn't have a lot of fat.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Years ago, you would have to drain - the meat to rid of the fat...
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- ..but that isn't the case now.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- When the meat is cooked and - the onion has softened...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- ..add the other ingredients.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- I've got some fresh garlic.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Give it a bang and - chop it finely.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- A food processor can be used - to chop the garlic.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- It's good to have texture.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- I've sliced a whole tomato.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- It breaks up the dish.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- There's more to the dish - than just meat.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- It's easy to buy jarred sauce - to make a lasagne.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- I can't believe you said that!
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- But I didn't understand - how simple it is to make.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- You can also make a lot and - freeze it in small tubs.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- What sauce did you add?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- I added some of the stock.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- I'm using a beef stock today.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- I would usually use chicken stock...
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- ..but we want a rich taste - to the lasagne.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- I've combined it with some water - inside this pot.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- I've given it a shake in the jar.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I've also got some tinned tomatoes.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- If you have tomatoes in the garden, - you can use them.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10- I've used tinned tomatoes and - fresh tomatoes...
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- ..but I'm also using tomato puree...
0:26:14 > 0:26:20- ..to make the sauce richer in taste.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- It also thickens the sauce.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- It also gives it a wonderful - red colour.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Add some oregano.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- You can use parsley and thyme or - any other herbs you have at home.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Allow to simmer for 30 minutes - to an hour.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44- The consistency will change and - this is one I made last night.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- The sauce tastes better - the following day too.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- I like the frying pan with hearts.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Next, I'm going to create - the lasagne.
0:26:56 > 0:27:02- You don't need to use a ladle...
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- ..but can use a cup or mug - as it will make the job much easier.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Place the mince in - an oven-dish with a cup.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Spread around the bottom - of the dish.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- You can purchase pasta sheets - in stores.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Do you boil the lasagne sheets?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Do you boil the lasagne sheets?- - The lasagne sheets go in raw.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- I've also made a white sauce - which I'll spread over the mixture.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- The sauce has cooled down and - has hardened.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38- The pasta will cook in the moisture - of the sauce.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Add another layer of the mince.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47- Place pasta sheets over the mince.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- If you have any gaps...
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- ..make sure - you try to cover them up.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Finish with the sauce.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- You could also place some cheese - on the top.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Should you always finish - with the sauce?
0:28:06 > 0:28:11- Yes, you could add some cheese - or tomatoes on the top.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17- You can chill it in the fridge - before cooking it in the oven.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19- When I was a child...
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- ..one of my favourite programmes - was Blue Peter...
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- ..and I desperately wanted - one of the famous badges.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- This year, the series is marking - a special milestone...
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- ..its 60th anniversary.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38- Daf Wyn joined the celebrations - by meeting two people...
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- ..who own the famous badges.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- Blue Peter...
0:28:44 > 0:28:49- ..the blue boat started its journey - almost 60 years ago.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54- This is the world's longest running - children's programme.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59- Familiar Welsh faces, like Gethin - Jones have presented the show.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- Today, it celebrated - its 5,000 programme.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- When I think of Blue Peter, - I think of three things.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- I think of the arts and crafts...
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- ..and the saying - "here's one I made earlier".
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Then, I think of the presenters...
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- ..and lastly, - the Blue Peter badge.
0:29:20 > 0:29:26- I was nine when I had this - and it has seen better days...
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- ..but I treasure it.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- How common are these badges?
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- How did you get your badge?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- I was in Bridgend with my father...
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- ..and noticed a goat with a number - of badges on its back.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- One was a Blue Peter badge.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56- I wondered how the goat - had the badge.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01- I wrote to Blue Peter and - told them about my experience...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- ..and my prize was the badge.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10- I saw the envelope in the hall - with BBC written on it...
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- ..but I didn't know - who had written to me.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18- Months later, - I wore the badge to school...
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- ..and showed it to everyone - in assembly.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- How does your badge differ to mine?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Mine is much older than yours...
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- ..and is at least 20 years old.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- The colour has started - to come off...
0:30:38 > 0:30:43- ..but I keep it in - a special treasure box.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- Gareth and I - are both proud of our badges...
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- ..but they can't compete - with Trystan's collection.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- I would say that you're a superfan - of Blue Peter, Trystan.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- I haven't met anyone - with more than one badge before.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Not many people can say they have - four, but I was lucky.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- When did you get the first badge?
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- They were searching for dancers - under the age of 16 and I was nine.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- I appeared on the programme and - danced with the Sugababes.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23- The other three badges have come - as a result of the first.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29- I drew a picture of the presenters - to get the blue badge.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- The green badge was for recycling - and I wrote a poem about it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- I believe only 50 of these - gold badges exist in the world...
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- ..and it was to celebrate - Blue Peter turning 50.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- I wrote to them and told them...
0:31:44 > 0:31:49- ..I'd been a viewer from a young age - and I wanted another badge.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- You treasure these badges and - you keep them safe.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- My mother looks after them and - she often cleans them for me.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- The badges are unique and - with living in a technical era...
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- ..it is something we can keep.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- This is an icon that - has existed for decades.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15- I would like the gold badge, - but I haven't save anybody's life.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- I don't want anyone's life - to be in danger either.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- They all seemed very proud - of their badges.
0:32:29 > 0:32:35- Have you heard of the North-East - village of Whitford?
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- The village is four miles West - of Holywell...
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- ..and two miles South of Mostyn.
0:32:42 > 0:32:48- Despite coming from the North-East, - I don't know much about the village.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53- Last week, the Heno cameras and - Elin Fflur visited the village...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- ..with two of the young residents.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06- You've had the important task - of taking me on a tour of Whitford.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- It's a beautiful - and interesting village.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15- Yes, and it only has a population - of about 2,500.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- There isn't a shop or a pub - but it has a school and a church.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24- The church is the focal point - of the village and it's very pretty.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30- This has been a site of worship - since the seventh or eighth century.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35- It's home to an interesting memorial - that we can show you.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Great, let's go!
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- This is the memorial - for Thomas Pennant...
0:33:42 > 0:33:47- ..born of an aristocratic family in - the 18th century at Downing Hall.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52- He wrote books about his adventures - and his interest in nature.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- Even Charles Darwin used his work...
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- ..which highlights the importance - of his work.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06- There's another interesting story - on the other side of this church.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- The site - is from the seventh century...
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- ..but this church is from the 1400s.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- We're in the oldest part - with the 15th century ceiling.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- The Mostyn family - also sat in this section...
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- ..when they came to church.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- They were important landowners - in the area...
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- ..and across North Wales.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- The Mostyn family is buried here...
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- ..and this is the family's - coat of arms.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- This has to be the only roundabout - in Whitford!
0:34:45 > 0:34:51- Yes, but it's also home - to a very important tree.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56- In 1877, - the third Baron Mostyn was 21...
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- ..and to mark the occasion, - they planted a tree.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Unfortunately, the tree died.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08- Two years ago, the Mostyn family - donated another tree and this is it.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13- That's brilliant and is a perfect - roundabout for all travellers!
0:35:14 > 0:35:20- The Maen Achwyfan Cross is the - tallest in Britain at twelve foot.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- What's the story behind it?
0:35:23 > 0:35:28- One story is of St Cwyfan preaching - here in the seventh century...
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- ..and this was built - to commemorate that event.
0:35:31 > 0:35:37- It also explains its name - of the Maen Achwyfan Cross.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- I've learnt a lot about Whitford - as I knew nothing about it earlier.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- One thing I do know is that - it's cold so let's go and warm up!
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- That was very interesting.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- I hope Elin has managed to warm up.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- It's time for the final break.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21- We've got strangers eating with us - tonight?
0:38:22 > 0:38:23- No, why?
0:38:24 > 0:38:25- No reason.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Y Tad is a drama...
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- ..that has intense and - difficult themes.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- I play the role of Pete...
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- ..who is the husband or partner...
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- ..of Arwyn's daughter.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Arwyn is the dementia sufferer.
0:38:50 > 0:38:56- He lives with Ann and Arwyn.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Pete sees that Arwyn is suffering...
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- ..with the illness...
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- ..and wants him to get help...
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- ..at a mental health hospital.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- We've created a pack - for higher level Welsh learners.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- To coincide with the production, - we have the Sibrwd app.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- You can download the app and - take it to the theatre...
0:39:26 > 0:39:32- ..and it will whisper in your ear - while the drama takes place.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- We hope that Welsh learners from - across Wales will come to see it...
0:39:37 > 0:39:38- ..and will use the app.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- I play the role of Laura.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- She's a laid-back character...
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- ..that comes to take - care of the father.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- He gets along well with her.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57- There are challenging elements - to the drama.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- We've laughed a lot in rehearsals...
0:40:01 > 0:40:07- ..but we're not laughing at dementia - sufferers, but laughing with them.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- The topic asks difficult questions - of society.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- How will we get to grips - with this subject?
0:40:15 > 0:40:20- How do we care for these people...
0:40:20 > 0:40:25- ..and their carers within society?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Y Tad will be touring...
0:40:33 > 0:40:38- ..between 21 February - and 16 March.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- For information, visit the website - www.theatr.cymru
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- Every month on Heno, - the naturalist, Iolo Williams...
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- ..encourages us to go outdoors and - enjoy what's around us.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56- During February, he's decided - to concentrate on the coast.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- Enjoy.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- I've come to the seaside...
0:41:07 > 0:41:12- ..but it isn't bucket and spade - or ice cream season...
0:41:12 > 0:41:17- ..but any season on the beach - is great for wildlife.
0:41:20 > 0:41:26- One of the most common things you'll - see on a pebble beach is seaweed.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- There are many different types.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34- The change in colour from the top of - the beach to the sea is interesting.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- Higher up the beach the seaweed - is brown and familiar to the eye.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- The green seaweed is found nearer - the sea and in the water.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- Red seaweed is found in the sea.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- The changes in colour depends on - the amount of sunlight they receive.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00- There's a lot of sunlight at the top - of the beach and little in the sea.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- This is the reason for the - different coloured seaweed.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10- If you go to the seaside, - you're guaranteed to see seagulls.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- This is the Herring Gull...
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- ..and is one - of the most common seaside birds.
0:42:19 > 0:42:25- This is the Black-headed Gull - in her winter coat.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30- She doesn't have her dark head - as it develops in the spring.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40- These "Llygad Maharen" or Limpets - are interesting creatures.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45- When the tide is out, - they glue themselves to the rocks...
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- ..but when the tide is in...
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- ..they wander the rocks and feed.
0:42:53 > 0:42:59- They'll eat the seaweed or algae - that attempt to grow on the rocks.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- When the tide goes out...
0:43:04 > 0:43:09- ..they return - to their previous spot...
0:43:09 > 0:43:14- ..and use their muscle to attach - themselves to the rock...
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- ..until the tide comes back in.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- When you come to the beach, - it's worth looking in the pools...
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- ..and raising some of the rocks.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- I've raised this rock and - found anemone.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38- When the tide is in...
0:43:39 > 0:43:44- ..the tentacles - they use to catch pray appear.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49- When the tides out, - the tentacles retract...
0:43:49 > 0:43:53- ..and it looks like red jelly.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57- I've also found starfish - hiding under the rock.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01- These starfish have five arms.
0:44:01 > 0:44:07- I'm going to put it back carefully, - just as I found it.
0:44:14 > 0:44:18- Oh, I was hoping to catch - a crab for you.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- This is the most common crab - you'll find on the seaside.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27- It has many names - including Carcinus Maenas...
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- ..Green crab or Shore crab.
0:44:31 > 0:44:36- They're usually green, but can also - be orange, blue or brown.
0:44:36 > 0:44:41- This is a female crab...
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- ..and if I turn her over...
0:44:44 > 0:44:50- ..you can see that she's carrying - thousands of small orange eggs.
0:44:50 > 0:44:55- It's important that I return her - to the same spot.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05- It's worth searching down - by the sea...
0:45:06 > 0:45:09- ..as you find unexpected things.
0:45:09 > 0:45:15- It looks like a brush has been used - to paint orange on to this rock.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19- Believe it or not, - this is a sponge...
0:45:20 > 0:45:25- ..and it's a special type - that's called crumb of bread sponge.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- I could stay here all day...
0:45:32 > 0:45:36- ..but a word to the wise, - the tide is beginning to come in.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42- The beach is a place of fun full of - wildlife, but it can be dangerous.
0:45:42 > 0:45:47- Keep an eye out, - be aware and be safe.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- I'm going to make my way - back up the beach.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52- I'll see you next month.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03- That was wonderful.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- I live a stone's throw away - from the beach...
0:46:06 > 0:46:10- ..and there's nothing better - than sea air.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13- Earlier in the programme...
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- ..we had a chat with Simon Chandler.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21- If you didn't see the chat, - Simon is originally from London...
0:46:21 > 0:46:24- ..but lives in Manchester.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- Simon learnt Welsh - a year and a half ago...
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- ..and considers himself a Welshman.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34- Simon is a talented musician.
0:46:34 > 0:46:39- Let's hear some of his performance - from Heno.
