After a cup of tea and a freshly baked raspberry and white chocolate muffin in the café we tried for dragonflies and maybe butterflies in the millennium wetlands section of WWT.

| Greater Spearwort, one of the buttercup family |
We had a little success with Black Tailed Skimmer, Common Blue, Common Darter and a probable Southern Hawker,(it wouldn't settle to be certain).

The afternoon was siesta time before setting off for Pembrey Harbour, again, with a later and higher tide.
Oystercatchers stole the show with over 600 present, with a following cast of 42 Sanderling, 67 Sandwich Tern, one Little Tern, 12 Knot and a Gannet fishing just 200m off shore.

| Oystercatchers, feel free to count them (Nick reckons over 600) |
