Busy Tuesday 27th February 2018

Contractors, working on behalf of Natural Resources Wales, are on site at Morfa Berwig carrying out some ditch and Willow clearance, so needed to be let in this morning, I also topped up the feeders before "the blizzard" arrives on Thursday, and.....checked the camera trap that I put out yesterday evening.

BINGO, check the bottom right hand side of the video for a very brief view of an OTTER, the river froze yesterday and it looks like the Otter came along the bank not through the water as anticipated but you know what I DON'T CARE, I got an Otter on film, now starts an opportunity.

After that morale boost it was off to a Carmarthenshire Nature Partnership meeting at WWT Llanelli, an interesting networking opportunity as always. I made copies of the guided events available which were well received.

After lunch some of the meeting debunked to Morfa Berwig for a walk around, some of the group hadn't visited before and those that had were impressed with the management works which have been carried out during the last few months.

A good representation from various public and NGO's at the meeting

here are the hardy ones who came for a walk

I took the opportunity to photograph one of the very early tiny bright red flowers of Hazel, usually overlooked as it is so small this, the female flower, is very intricate.
