Sunshine brings allsorts out, Saturday 8th April 2017
What a stunningly beautiful day, the Pembrey reserve looked at it's best for early spring. Of course not every day is straight forward, and today started off with a complaint from a horse rider that a dog had chased her and her daughters ponies down the beach..... Then, although nothing to do with the reserve, the local RNLI Lifeboat was called out to assist a yacht in the estuary, a few hours later and the Coastguard helicopter did a round of the bay, the sunshine brings them out..... Back to the reserve Wildlife was very evident with a pair if Pied Wagtails investigating the information shelter, a wandering Slow Worm, a couple of Field Voles and perhaps best of all a territorial male Lapwing, I wonder what he was up too? Slow Worm ♂ Lapwing A telephone call from local birder Adam informed me that he had found a female BLACK REDSTART, a first for the site, disappointedly I couldn't relocate it. Bird species 90 of 2017. ♀ Black Redstart
