An overcast dawn turned into a warm sunny morning as we were joined by a small group, of mainly new people, to look at the specialists that inhabit the salt marsh at Pembrey Burrows LNR.

No matter what the title of an event it's impossible to ignore anything of interest and we were soon looking at a mix of dune and marsh plants; too many to list them all but the special ones included:
Rock Sea Lavender, Sea Centuary, Sea Rush, Sea Aster, Sea Wormwood, Seablite, Common Lavender and Sea Purslane.

| Sea Aster |

| Sea Centuary |
Just from the names a clear theme develops, the plants have a close association with the coast.
Having just missed high water, we arrived at "the nose" while there were still good numbers of birds present including, Sandwich Tern (200+), Black headed Gull, Common Gull, Whimbrel, Mallard and Ringed Plover.
Another successful event.
The next event is on THURSDAY 31st AUGUST at 2pm, - Bumblebees
