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 them out, try Ynysdawela Local Nature Reserve in Upper Brynamamn, or Morfa Berwig Local Nature Reserve near Bynea, don't forget to report your bird sightings to  About us - Carmarthenshire Bird Club and other sightings to
