Pembrokeshire has been experiencing some very un-springlike weather, but it hasn't stopped the Western Telegraph Camera Club members from getting out and about to picture their favourite sights in this county.

It wouldn't be spring without some cute lambs, and you can also enjoy pictures of a splendid peacock, an imposing deer, some beautifully-coloured ducks and a stately heron.
