The start of the town centre pedestrianised area

This somewhat dilapidated building which used to be the home of the Mid Glamorgan Water Board has been partially restored at street level as a pavement cafe in the pedestrianised town centre.

This bridge over the Ogmore River in the town centre was built in 1425, repaired in 1775 and recently restored in 2005

As the river rounds the bend it regains natural banks with overhanging trees and other vegetation.

The birds nest in drainage holes in the concrete banks of the river in the middle of town. With no success at capturing them in flight it was fortunate that this one alighted on the bank. As they normally feed on the wing I would assume that this individual is gathering material for a basic lining to its nest. It is possible that it has found a new and less energy consuming means of obtaining food than usual or maybe it's just had enough of zooming about.
