Tuesday 15th September 2015

After the first real gale of the autumn and with high tide at 08:15hrs I thought it would be perfect for a quick seawatch at Pembrey Harbour.

The small marsh to the West of the old harbour

It proved interesting, with the following sightings betwwen 07:30hrs and 08:30hrs seemed longer?

Oystercatchers, count them if you want

All in all a pretty busy hour.
