On the beach..... I had been asked to help with a one off walk with Carmarthenshire Wildlife Walks, who laid on an event for the Llanelli "pups" a summer school organisation, the plan was to take the kids (am I allowed to say kids?) onto the beach for a bit of a strandline safari. As these thing can turnout there were more adults (11 I think) than kids (5 I think) I wasn't leading so I didn't need to account for them! The morning was warm bright and a bit breezy with an easterly edge to the wind, luckily the strandline was on the damper part of the beach so not too much flying sand. Art in sand.... a photo from the Spring Whilst there was much to entertain everyone I was a little disappointed by the lack of "things" to find, the recent weather has resulted in much of the debris on the beach being covered by sand. In a little over an hour. everyone's collecting trays ( ex takeaway containers) were overflowing with specimens.
