Morfa Berwig......


This morning at the reasonable hour I, with the help of Adam Dare, led a birding walk at Morfa Berwig, the weather was perfect with 22 species seen or heard including the star of the reserve Cettis Warbler.

We also encountered a good mix of Dragon/Damsel flies in the form of Azure Bluet, Four Spotted Chaser, Broad Bodied Chaser, Black-tailed Skimmer and Hairy Dragonfly, although the last one has a ? over it, I'm confident of one sighting but all the later ones were in fact female B T Skimmer.


Azure Bluet ( one way to identify this common species is the U shaped mark on the thorax)

Thanks to Adam once again for his help.

Later on in the day in an undisclosed location deep in the woods .......

The team putting up a nest box for Owls...

This makes it look easy.....

At "fricking last" is what I think he is muttering.... but it will be worth it, with thanks to

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 ...
