Wednesday 7th October 2015

Better weather forecast today and feeling cooler than yesterday by a few degrees.

Wednesday is becoming my volunteering day with the volunteers at Pembrey burrows LNR, and so we met at around 10:15am for a bit of fencing and gate installation.

How many people does it take to drill a hole in a post


Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bird fly onto a fence post, that's a CUCKOO I thought, its 7th of October I then thought! but sure enough a bedraggled juvenile cuckoo was being mobbed by Skylarks and Meadow Pipits.

Juvenile Cuckoo

No mistaking it...........................

In 2014 the last reported Cuckoo  in Carmarthenshire was on June 18th....
 
 
There were one or two butterflies around including Meadow Brown, Red Admiral and a rather tatty Painted Lady
