Monday 14th September 2015

With a storm in full flow we decided to pop down to Burry Port Harbour, the tide was due to be high at 19:59hrs, but even at 17:30 with a full blown westerly behind it the tide was rising fast.

The photo does no justice to the actual weather

Wildlife was few and far between, but 250+ Oystercatchers sheltering on the harbour wall a few Ringed Plover and a couple of various gulls.

Oystercatchers pushed off their roost flying into the gale

A juvenile Kittiwake was a good find then a "comic" tern tried to fly into the teeth of the gale.
