Guided Walk...... Today was another scheduled walk, with todays theme being Wildflowers, of course as usual the walk become a general look at the wonderful flora and fauna that is Pembrey Burrows & Saltings LNR. In warm sunshine with a light WSW breeze we set off to discover the best that was on offer, clearly we thought the host of Pyramidal Orchids would steal the show but when the Butterflies appeared with Marbled White, Dark Green Fritillary, Meadow Brown, and Small Heath providing the mainstay we felt we were on to a great walk. Dark Green Fritillary, the best shot I could get!! The dragonflies did not disappoint with Emperor, Black-tailed Skimmer, Broad Bodied Chaser, and Common Bluet in good numbers. As usual getting decent photos proved a challenge. After checking our second refugia of the morning we found one Slow Worm, always a treat. A walk out towards the beach brought a confusing Orchid, either Early or Southern Marsh? I'll confirm later.
