Freshwater West dunes, Pembrokeshire
It was a scorching hot day today at Freshwater West dunes in Pembrokeshire. We spent the day surveying dune flora. Freshwater West and Sea Bindweed Calystegia soldanella. I don't think I've ever seen such a large patch of Sea-holly Eryngium maritimum before. Later in the afternoon we set up some pitfall traps in order to survey invertabrates of the dunes later in the week. This morning we checked the mammal traps which we set last night, and found that we had caught Field Mice and Bank Voles. The photograph shows a Field Mouse being weighed.
