Crash Bang Wallop, Saturday 27th May 2017

Well no one can say the weather forecasters didn't say it may be thundery, but WOW what a storm in the early hours of this morning, practically unbroken lightening for nearly two hours, and the rain, 18mm recorded by the weather station on the information shelter.


Temperature 29th April - 27th May (only 24th -27th applies to Pembrey)

Wind records 29th April- 27th May (only 24th - 27th applies to Pembrey)

So in sharp contrast to yesterday, the weather is overcast, breezy and damp but not as humid as it was last night.

Well with a 9.0m tide, and no jet skiers this morning the marsh looked ad sounded great, with a nice selection of birds, Shelduck, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Mallard, Greenshank, and Redshank.

And the downside, well another member of the herd in F2 decided to go walkabout.... with some information from "Brian the fence" I located the escape point, the sand has built up along the barbed wire with only the top strand showing and a nice ramp either side it takes no effort to go for a wander. Luckily the stray beast walked back in so no chasing about but I thought some remedial repairs were needed, not easy on your own...
the temporary repair may hold them until Wednesday when I guess it will be a priority job.


Not even a hop and a skip...
It may hold them

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 ...
