Continuing to explore this part of Carmarthenshire led me to Llyn LLech Owain country park, a SSSI north of Crosshands
The habitat is a lake surrounded by peat bog, heathland and conifer forest, despite the grey skies it was a pleasant surprise to find yet another habitat so close to our new home.
I'm a bit out of touch with this type of habitat but took a few pictures to refer to my flower guide. A newt crossing the path looks very much like a Palmate newt.
