Morfa Berwig drought Friday 20th July 2018
A few hours checking Morfa Berwig LNR, including clearing a nice bag full of litter from the roundabout entrance, this morning was well worth it.
Plenty of butterflies on the wing including, Small Blue, Common Blue, Large Skipper, Meadow Brown and PAINTED LADY.
Bumblebees were well represented by Common Carder and Red-tailed, but dragonflies were scarce, given the lack of water with all the ponds empty of useable water I'm not sure where they have gone, an opportunity for a better look on tomorrows BIRD CLUB WALK.
On the bird front plenty of juvenile Goldfinches feeding on the heads of Creeping Thistle, a few warblers skulking around to, a juvenile Grey Heron in a ditch with two well grown juvenile Mallard.
The Teasel plants are coming into flower and will provide another source of seed for the birds in the autumn
Come along on tomorrows walk and explore this interesting reserve, see the Carmarthenshire Bird Club website for more info.
