May bank holiday weekend roundup, Monday 7th May 2018

The sun came out as promised by the weather forecasters, and with it so came the crowds.

The Pembrey reserve was not too busy, with most people just using the parking areas to head to the beach without paying the entrance fee into the country park.
Early morning has been best with Whimbrel on the beach, Wheatear in the dunes, and at last some decent butterflies including the stunning Green Hairstreak.

There are good numbers of Green-winged Orchids to be found along with Wild Pansy. a note of caution Wild Parsnip is now growing fast.

With the crowds so comes the litter, I cleaned the parking area at CE53 twice in just two hours on Sunday morning!, the safety/RVP sign at CE53, which is a favourite dumping point was typically bad as illustrated in the photographs, I helped clear the mess (three black bags worth) with one of the ORS rangers; sadly its already getting messy again.





I helped out in Pembrey Country Park for most of the weekend, as a precursor to starting work there.
There has been a great event over the last two days with Dyfed Archaeology demonstrating WW1 activities, - very well attended.





I don't feel able to go into detail on the blog but let me just say not everyone respects the amazing environment and facilities at the park and the surrounding area......
