Monday 26th October 2015




A Blustery morning, with the breeze too strong for ringing, so I decided to have anogther look around the site at Pembrey Burrows LNR.

Thanks to directions from one of the locals I found pond number 2, and managed to flush a lone Snipe from the margins of the pond.

The primary role of the ponds are to provide water for the herd of cattle which graze the dunes as part of their on going management although currently they are absent.

There are still a few flowers on show including Yarrow.

On the bird front Raven (2) and Mistle Thrush (3) were the best on offer, although there has been a noticeable increase in Robins on site.




Pond 2

Yarrow, still in flower on the dunes, this one is pink not white which is more usual

An increasing threat - Wildfire

  Bore da pawb, Sounds dramatic and maybe an odd thing to think about given the amount of rain storm Bert dumped on South Wales in the past ...
