Just another day......three ambulances, HM Coastguard and the Police

-
Well, what a change in the weather wind and heavy cold showers.

 The day started off quite slowly, then a tree with limbs damaged by last nights wind needed attention which tied two of us up for a couple of hours, the tree was made safe but will need felling on Monday, no one injured all safe.


I took one of the new guys out on a beach patrol as it was quiet in the office, on our return trip down the beach we were flagged down by the RNLI lifeguard on a quad bike looking for a lady with a Cocker spaniel the wife of a kite surfer who had suffered an injury. We found the lady sat in her car and delicately informed her she was needed on the beach. A while later RNLI informed us that a 999 call had been made and an ambulance was on the way, the paramedics and then the coastguard duly arrived.

 Oh I forgot, in between finding the lady and taking her to the beach the Police arrived lights blazing on what turned out to a HOAX call.

The coincidences continue as the technician in the first ambulance informed that there was another unit on the way responding to another incident in the park... I'll come back to that one

Clearly it would be inappropriate to report anymore on the incident suffice to say the paramedics carried out their job Well done to them and of course the RNLI lifeguards. I wish the gentleman a speedy recovery.

 And so to the second incident, a lady had slipped and damaged her hip, she seemed cheery enough when we arrived ahead of the ambulance paramedic responder car; but was actually in  a lot of pain. Another full size ambulance was needed and the lady whisked off to hospital.

 I got in around 20:15 and my mobile rang, it was the campsite warden asking if when I left the entrance barrier was ok, well it was but not apparently now, as it is in two pieces!!!

A Tern of events Sunday 7th April

  Prynhawn da pawb,  I hope you have all weathered storm Kathleen. It's been a heck of a week personally,  I'm hoping this coming week will be better. Well storm Kathleen is the last weather event we need but sadly any meagre control we may have had over our climate has long run out. On a brighter note though a phone call from the county bird recorder set me off to Sandy Water Park, (SWP) where 13 Arctic Terns, 2  Little Gulls and a mixed flock of 2-300+ mostly Sand Martins and a few Swallows were playing in the wind. Little Gull If you're up to speed with the last few months then you will know that we have installed bird nesting rafts on SWP and at Ffynnon Helyg near Pwll, with a view of hopefully attracting  Common Terns to nest !!. OK its a coincidence but a nice one Earlier in the week a Little Ringed Plover was seen flying over the SWP raft, what's that saying, build and they will come! Lots of migrant birds have now arrived and we have some great places to seek th

SLOW WORM fest..

  Croseo pawb,  Another busy week which has kept me on my toes, as usual, I've dealt with fish poaching, illegal vehicle intrusion, and odd things going on with a "Badger Sett". The relevant authorities are dealing with the poaching and vehicle issues whilst I have investigated the "goings on". Nothing of concern as there is no Badger sett just an outlier burrow probably an old boar Badger or one of last years youngsters pushed out from the main sett, quite common at this time of year when the sow badgers will be giving birth. Our amazing volunteers have been out and about, today they were at Morfa Berwig LNR, where I joined them this afternoon for their first reptile survey of the year, a very productive survey with 16 refugia to check and a total of 22  Slow worms, five Grass snakes, although two were out basking away from the refugia and just one Common Lizard. One refugia had seven Slow worms in a loose ball under it an incredible sight, another had Slow w

Carmarthenshire - Did you Know?

  Well its ages since I've found time to write a blog post apologies for that but here we go with some interesting facts and personal thoughts about Carmarthenshire wildlife, and a bit further afield. Did you know: That we have a County plant, Whorled Caraway, Carum verticullatum ; found in typical Rhos pasture a feature of the Carmarthenshire landscape though often under threat from changes in agricultural practices Did you Know: That there are 311 species of birds recorded as being seen in the county, a respectable figure by an measure, amongst the rarities are Blue-winged Teal, a species from North America, Black Stork an European species which itself has a limited range. Having a decent stretch of well watched coastline the county is well placed for observers to document the seasonal arrival and departures of migrating birds such as Northern Wheatear, Swift, Willow Warbler, the Carmarthenshire Bird Club is a very welcoming bunch of like minded individuals and its well worth joi
