Phone photo only of the island with grey herons in the trees
Access path to the viewing area very flooded. Lily dog in her buggy
Pond is flooded out over the path
Other paths in the woods are under water and impassible
A wander in the wet to check out the heronry, to find 5 very active, raucous & raunchy birds. Area is very flooded though and struggled to get through the wood #greyheron #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Gulls, oystercatchers, sanderling and dunlin feeding on mussels on the beach
The sun going down as the tide goes out
Mussels galore
Sunset over the distant lighthouse with plenty of herring gulls taking to the sky
An afternoon beach walk with the dogs & a set of bins, as the tide was going out. A feeding frenzy of birds as so many mussels were left on the sand. Bar-tailed godwits, sanderling, dunlin, oycs and lots of gulls #BurryPort #sunset #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Highlight was a male hen harrier and marsh harrier along Pembrey Burrows and a lovely walk back along the beach with thousands of oystercatchers and gulls at sunset. A beautiful 3 mile walk on a gorgeous day. Not many of them this month

The sun shone, the birds sang 'thank heavens it's a dry day' at Kidwelly Quay. Plenty of snipe, a few thousand golden plover, lots of lapwing and redwing too. They too must be fed up with all the rain #snipe #goldenplover #lapwing #redwing #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales

Still struggling to find the snow bunting on my patch but did find the northern wheatear. It was happily feeding on worms amongst the cow pats in the paddock. It does have a poorly right foot though #NorthernWheatear #Wheatear #CarmsBirds #PembreyBurrows #ThatsALateOne #BirdingWales

A gathering with the Carmarthen Bird Club at Kidwelly Quay today turned up two grey phalarope & we watched an osprey catch a fish, but too distant for photos. Managed to dodge the showers though. Tide was very high for much else #KidwellyQuay #CarmsBirds #GreyPhalarope #BirdingWales

Came across a cattle egret in a field with herefords at Pembrey today. Lovely to see it strutting amongst their feet. Sadly only my phone camera #cattleegret #carmsbirds #Pembrey #birdingwales

House sparrows had their 2nd brood in my roof space & yesterday their wings were going like pneumatic drills as they were practicing. All quiet this morning, they've flown the nest. About 40 in the garden, so a successful year for them here. #housesparrow #burryport #carmsbirds #birdingwales

Still trying to monitor the heronry at Pembrey Country Park but I'm guessing the visible nest must have failed. Heron is still sitting but no signs of any spikey heads. The other nests are not in view. #greyheron #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales #Pembrey

Lovely walk midday under the tree lined paths at Pembrey Country Park & ended up at the pond. Was treated to a garden warbler in full song, joined by blackcap, chiffchaff, willow warbler, whitethroat, LTT, whilst I checked the heronry with 2 nests. #gardenwarbler #CarmsBirds #BirdingWales
