Strandline Beetle last survey of 2017 Thursday 21st September 2017

Well I'm planning that todays survey will be the last of 2017, but lets wait and see.

Only one section was left to do today, the eastern end of Cefn Sidan in the nature reserve, sadly not one beetle was found, given that there was very little surface debris I wasn't surprised still it was disappointing.

On a slightly brighter note there was hardly any plastic on that stretch of beach.

What was lacking in beetles was made up for by the large flocks of Goldfinches and Linnets, busily feeding on the fast seeding dune plants, as well as amongst the strandline.

A great afternoon to be out, even though it was supposed to be a "day off"!.
