Instead here are some of the recent wildlife sightings at Pembrey Burrows.
A juvenile MOORHEN was, surprisingly, a new bird for the reserve, as was a GREAT WHITE EGRET, a long overdue sighting as they occur frequently at Kidwelly Quay and WWT Llanelli.

| Great White Egret (GWE) |
The recent high tides seem to have brought a lot of fish "fry" into the marsh as the GWE was accompanied by a good count of eight LITTLE EGRETS and three GREY HERONS, which could be seen actively catching fish.
MEADOW PIPITS and SKYLARKS have increased in n umber in the last ten days, with a small influx of GOLDCRESTS being vocal in the Sea Buckthorn bushes.

The run of westerly winds seems to be holding up some of the more expected species, such as Redwing and Fieldfare, but the sea has seen most action with RED-THROATED DIVERS seen offshore, an increase in GREAT CRESTED GREBES and the appearance of BRENT GEESE all signs the seasons are changing.
