Bentlass and Angle Bay, Pembrokeshire
Today we spent the day in Pembrokeshire, surveying saltmarsh vegetation at Bentlass and Angle Bay. It was a beautiful day, if very muddy location! Sea Aster Aster tripolium and Golden-ringed Dragonfly. I was surprised to see this superb dragonfly on a saltmarsh, photographed here sitting on Spartina anglica. Previously I have only seen the species in moorland areas. This particular individual has very tatty wings which probably explains why I got so close! We saw lots of Short-winged Coneheads in amongst the Sea Club Rush as they are at Marshside. This juvenile Little Grebe was remarkably tame. In the morning we set up small mammal traps in the woods.
