Wednesday 27th September 2017

A completely different day, weather wise, to yesterday with a stiff breeze blowing and an outlook of rain to come.

The team took to the beach to collect up bags of litter already collected on previous litter picking days, someone had got there before us for one lot, but at the western end of Cefn Sidan the bags still waited to be collected.

Then a spot of lunch in the van whilst sat watching the seascape and putting the world to rights....

There were some decent numbers of birds on the beach with a nice range of species including, Oystercatchers, Dunlin, Sanderling, three Bar-tailed Godwits, c6 Sandwich Terns and a single Ruff,  as well as the usual array of gulls

Back into Pembrey Country Park where we collected Willow and Birch branches for the local primary schools' "forest school".

A couple of Spindle shrubs were really showy with their fuchsia pink and deep orange seed heads, really brightening up the forest track.

We dropped off the branches at the school where they were received with huge enthusiasm from the pupils and teaching staff.
