WOW busy busy, Friday 26th January 2018

An early morning to see the contractors at Morfa Berwig, refurbishing the bridges on the main path. The first Primrose flowers, Cettis Warblers, Robins and Blackbirds singing in the morning sunshine,- the first dry day for what seems like ages.



A phone call from one of our regulars at Pembrey Burrows to alert me to the fact that there had been a breakout from F2, with three of the boys munching on the salt marsh!!.



Having found the breach in the fence and repaired it, I wandered over to see what could be done to get the boys back in the field.

They showed no interest in moving, and why would they, with all those lovely tasty salt marsh plants to graze.

They soon moved with some mechanical encouragement when the grazier turned up,  with a little effort we got the three across the marsh and into the field.




A flip side of rounding cattle was a count of 55 Snipe, oh then 54 as a male Peregrine took advantage of the situation....

Meanwhile back at Morfa Berwig, the contractor found that the lorry was bogged down in the mud!!!!


Surprising what my little van is capable of.....problem solved

The first bridge is 90% refurbished  complete and safe to use.
