WEBS count Cefn Sidan/ Pembrey Coast SSSI Sunday 21st January 2018

Today was the WEBS count, so in appalling weather I met Edward the WWT Intern at high tide and we drove the five miles of the beach from Pembrey Country Park to Tywyn Point.
We got the timing perfect this morning and the poor weather mean't there were very few people on the beach

Section A was a bit quiet but we soon got into some decent birds and good numbers in section B; highlights included:

OYSTERCATCHER 7363, HERRING GULL 1021, SANDERLING 465, DUNLIN 353,                GREY PLOVER 40, GBB GULL 66, KNOT 189, & BAR TAILED GODWIT 25

Sanderling



The oddest discovery was a TAMWORTH PIG, although it would have taken a very good Vet to bring it back to life.....

Where the hell did this Tamworth come from?
