Nereid in Cardiff

Another visit to Cardiff. I met this Nereid, she wasn't doing any guided tours to the city - dragon or not. She seemed a bit occupied with that bird on her hand, so I sat on a fish and posed for the picture.

Nereids are sea nymphs from the Aegean Sea -this one's a bit lost. They are the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris (sounds like they might really be from the East End). The Nereids would go to the aid of sailors in heavy storms. This one looks like she goes to the aid of birds as well. I didn't spot any of the other 49, nor Doris. Though she was probably having a knees up round the piano in some pub.
