This morning was a lot breezier than the forecast suggested, but since the car was packed and I was awake I set off to Pembrey Burrows & Saltings LNR.
My first encounter was with a HARE which is the first I've seen in my visits, based on its size it looked like a few months old.
My aim was to sample my third "subsite" on the reserve, having seen crests and tits in the area on Sunday.
It proved to be a good move as on "round 3", of the morning a FIRECREST was in the most sheltered net.
Always a great find but one which I felt was sure to be around it just has so many Goldcrests on site in the Gorse and Buckthorn.
The biometrics for this individual are as follows:
Sex ♂
Wing 52mm
Weight 5.3g
Age BTO code 3 a first year
 |
FIRECREST
This was the highlight of a very quiet morning, sightings included C1000 STARLINGS and two LITTLE EGRET
