12th October 2015

With clear skies overnight and the temperature down to 5'c, and no breeze I set up for a session at Pembrey Burrows LNR.

With only three nets in play (two of which were a dogleg for pipits in a trial location) it was relatively quiet with only 11 birds ringed however more lessons learned.

Song Thrush (1), Dunnock (2), Robin (1) Wren (2) Goldcrest (1) Goldfinch (1) Meadow Pipit (3).


Song Thrush

Goldfinch

Also noted were seven Ravens heading towards the beach, the ♀ Sparrowhawk, five Pintail, Seven Stonechat and a Buzzard.


Still a few flowers in bloom including Gorse or Furze, this spiky plant can flower in every month of the year, and of course lots of plants setting seed.

Gorse

Dog Rose "hips"
