How times change Wednesday 25th January 2017

There is currently tree thinning taking place in Pembrey Country Park, so it was interesting to go along and see the work taking place.

The trees being felled are Corsican Pine, planted many years ago, some are a good size, with one in three being cut to open up the forest and allowing the under storey to develop.

These days it's down to machinery, rather than a team with chainsaws, to do the job and with 33 trees being felled, snedded and corded in an hour it's a pretty impressive machine.





Whilst we were in the park we went and put the Barn Owl box, which had been taken over by Honey bees in the autumn, back into use.







There was another stunning sunset after a day of clear blue skies.






Thanks to Veronica for today's photographs

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 ...
