Now Spring is here, Wednesday 10th April 2019
Pembrey Burrows Local Nature Reserve is one of the best places to see Green-Winged Orchids, I was out and about this morning and they are starting to appear in drifts across the grazing fields; for me they are a real sign that Spring has arrived. It will be a week or so before they are at thier best so don't rush to see them yet, if you want directions to the showiest areas then contact me.

Monday 9th April 2019
Another pleasant morning, and the last of the winter bird food distributed, there were plenty of birds in full song this morning with the usual Blackbirds, Robins, Wrens and Dunnock blasting out, this morning they were joined by the Blackcap, a summer visitor to the Country Park, and a real songster.
The large pond in the SW corner of the park provided a few highlights this morning with a displaying pair of Shelduck, vocal Greylag Geese and squabbling Greater-spotted Woodpeckers.
In the pond itself it was great to see a swarm of Toad tadpoles hugging the shore, to be honest after the massacre of adults by the Otter a few weeks ago I didn't expect to see any toadpoles....
A couple of new flowers included a small clump of cowslips and a few early Dog Violets
