Monday 7th December 2015

Storm Desmond, has had a real impact around the country, although here in South Wales we have escaped the very worst of it.


The height of the storm at Newgale in Pembrokeshire



Nonetheless there have been impacts such as continued erosion of the sand dunes at Pembrey so much so that there has been a real concern that the south east corner of field two would end up on the beach with the cattle escaping and possibly wandering off into the sea, a scenario which happen a few years ago with devastating consequences.

Interestingly despite losing several stretches of san dune there has also been a great amount of accreation of sand along the beach.

The fence was constructed by volunteers from MENCAP and we had a great day working together, an audience of 19 bullocks added to the entertainment but they soon wandered off to continue the great conservation work they are doing munching their way through the rough grasses.

A mixed bunch!

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 ...
