Tuesday 29th September

Another glorious day a spot of ringing yielded Goldfinch, Chaffinch and Collared Dove.

I ventured to Kidwelly Quay after  high tide and found Greenshank (31), Redshank (120+), Curlew Sandpiper (2), Dunlin, plus the usual supporting cast.

I then drove down to Pembrey Burrows local nature reserve,  my first time to visit, looks like a potential ringing site.

Plenty of Evening Primrose, Oenothera glazioviana, in flower, the Sea Buckthorn, Hippophae rhamnoides, was heavy with berries potentially good news for Redwings and Fieldfares.
