Tigers and more

 Croeso Pawb,

Another week has flown by, at least the weather has been more summer like, even a noticeable increase in the number of insects to be seen 

I've had a few days out and about doing  site visits with Buglife and looking at a potential project with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust

Moss Carder

On Tuesday a few of the team met up with Liam Olds from Buglife to search for the Dune Tiger Beetle, Cicindella maritima at Pembrey Burrows.






Square Jawed Sharp Tailed Bee


Despite perfect habitat and weather, we didn't find any tigers but we did find, Moss Carder and Brown Banded Carder bees, as well as, the roll off the tongue, the Squared Jawed Sharp-tailed  bee and a Lesser Stag Beetle.

Second generation Small Blue butterflies were on the wing as well as a good number of Graylings

Wednesday I spent in the company of Bumblebee Conservation and Barry Stewart looking at opportunities to improve or create habitats within the Millennium Coast Park. Lots of ideas to be explored further, as plans progress I'll update the blog.
