Croeso pawb,

“Mae gennych chi swydd wych, byddwn i wrth fy modd yn gwneud eich gwaith”

Dim ond rhai o'r sylwadau braf a gafwyd yr wythnos hon wrth ymgysylltu รข'r cyhoedd, ni ellir ysgrifennu sylwadau eraill yn dda nid yn fy mlog oherwydd eu natur gamdriniol.

Ie, mae gen i swydd anhygoel sydd, fel rydw i wedi dweud sawl gwaith rwy'n caru y tu hwnt i fesur, ond nid yw mor hawdd a thawel ag y mae'n ymddangos, fel llawer o broffesiynau mae ganddo ei ups and downs ond mae'r wythnos ddiwethaf wedi bod yn anodd, llawer o graeanu dannedd ond hefyd cryn dipyn o chwerthin, yr un mor dda.

 

“ You’ve got a great job, I’d love to do your job”

Just some of the nice comments received this week whilst engaging with the public, other comments can’t be written down well not in my blog due to their  abusive nature.

Yes, I have an amazing job which, as I’ve said many times, I love beyond measure, but its not as easy and tranquil as it appears, like many professions it has its ups and downs but the past week has been tough, lots of gritting of teeth but also quite a few laughs, just as well.

 I hope the Welsh is translated appropriately please let me know if it’s not!

Sea Buckthorn clearance, the last for several years to come
 A huge amount of habitat   management has taken place at Pembrey Burrows LNR over recent weeks, some of it looks harsh, some has already passed the “harsh” stage and is in the settling down phase. In a year’s time we will see improvements to a functioning ecosystem. 




The restored dune slack
It’s been a good week for bird records, with Marsh Harriers, Merlin, Peregrine, Sparrowhawk, Red Kite and Buzzard making daily appearances, much to the worry of the Starling, Teal  and Snipe flocks.

Sadly its not been so good for sea mammals with several Grey Seals washed ashore dead, a glimmer of hope was the successful release of this seal pup which after giving me a good run around on the beach.


Apparently seal pups can become afraid of the water after traumatic events, this little one was with, what we assumed was its mother sadly deceased. We had expert advice and they were happy the pup was weaned and had as good a chance of survival as was possible, so we rested her? for a few hours and then took to the sea. 

We now need a replacement large animal crate !

Behind those eyes is a vicious bite!



It’s a good time to get out and about before winter really bites!

No new blogs until January 26
