Bosherston Lakes and Stackpole Warren, Pembrokeshire
We had a fabulous day at Bosherston Lakes and Stackpole Warren. We arrived at Bosherston Lake at 6am and were delighted to see an Otter swimming across one of the lakes. We also saw Peregrine, Buzzard and Raven. Bosherston Lakes in the early morning sunlight. The Otter swam across the sunny bay and dived several times as we watched. Bosherston Lakes and Broadhaven. Migrant Hawker and Red-veined Darter. Bosherston Lakes is a SSSI partly on account of its dragonfly species, and this afternoon we saw plenty of Migrant Hawkers, Common Darters and Common Blue Damselflies. Red-veined Darter is a migrant species which has occured in St Helens in at least two years. Common Blue Damselfly and Barafundle Bay Stockpole Warren cliffs. Stockpole Warren has a variety of habitats, from sea cliffs to sand dunes to limestone outcrops, and has lots of short turf with a great diversity of plants. Autumn Ladies Tresses Spiranthes spiralis at Stockpole Warren. We found this magnificent Great Green Bush Cricket at Stockpole Warren.
