Thursday 30th July 2015

This morning was forecast to be a lot calmer and dryer than of late and so it was.

It was CES session 9 at WWT Llanelli so I joined the Gower Ringing Group there at 05:30hrs, to set the nets on what was quite a chilly morning for July.

A total of 33 birds including retraps was respectable for the site, other wildlife on show included ,  the dragonflies Southern Hawker and Common Darter and also the Hornet Hoverfly, Volucella zonaria.
