Hi

 Prynhawn da pawb croeso

 

I've been struggling with ideas for the Blog, so here in no particular order is a roundup of the past few week.

On the project front I'm still waiting for full confirmation that the exciting projects I have lined up for Welsh Government's Local places for Nature fund, that the funding will come through, I'm sure it will.

This will allow projects to be carried out improving the hibernation/over wintering habitat for the Greater Horseshoe Bats, to provide mitigation for the eventual loss of the Burry Port East beach Sand Martin Colony, which, by the way is going to monitored weekly this season starting tomorrow another project for later in the year will be the restoration of a dune slack in Pembrey Country Park.

A highlight last week was to see my first Green-winged Orchids at Pembrey Burrows I expect that following the recent rain there will be many more in flower now.

On the bird front, the first Reed and Grasshopper Warblers are on territory on the coast whilst a Tree Pipit in full display flight at Llyn Llech Owain so great to see and to show to a group having a walk around looking at the Peat bog restoration work.

Oh you may have seen me on the BBC news on Good Friday, thankfully most of my interview was cut but Barry Stewart did a great job promoting the use of by-product from the steel industry to enhance bio-diversity.

I was lucky to see a displaying Goshawk at one of our sites this morning amazing bird.
