 Croeso pawb,

Its been a while since the last Blog, lots going on as usual, just not a lot to write about.

Winter is the time for most habitat management work to be carried out and this winter has been no exception, the weather however has had other ideas and has made many jobs very difficult to carry out, and whilst habitat work can look messy and destructive the key is knowing which jobs to pull.

The planned work at Morfa Berwig has been cancelled for this year but I will look to see what can be done in the autumn, hopefully before the ground gets too wet..

With meteorological winter drawing to a close, thought must turn to spring and the changing natural season, Hazel is already in flower in sheltered places, I saw a Magpie carrying a stick a few days ago and I've heard of  a Mallard with a brood of ducklings.

We carried out the last Snipe count of the season last week with a total of c105 Snipe, one Water Rail, 14 Skylarks and both ♂ & ♀ Marsh Harrier, with a ♂ Hen Harrier being seen by one of our rangers.

Looking forward into spring and summer 2026 we have a great programme of walks planned for Pembrey Burrows LNR and Cefn Sidan - these tie in to the Pembrey Coast SSSI project, I can't say to much about the project yet ....

Short and sweet this week.
