New Work Cages Set Up

As the first drill sites are completed rigs move on to new sites, and the next locations are also set up.

New drill site marked out and being prepared for the drill to me moved to it
at Porth y Pistyll, Wylfa.

Information Signs Please

Having yet again explained to more coastal path walkers what all the survey works and drilling is for, it would be nice if a couple of explanatory information boards were put up to explain - who is doing what and why, who has paying for the work and who gave permission for it to take place. Also that there is a public consultation currently requesting opinions on the proposals which they could respond to.
Coastal footpath walkers are not all locals or landowners and are taken by surprise at the present intense activity and fenced section of footpath.
Perhaps locate the information boards at where walkers enter the survey areas?

On the Horizon

New drill sites being prepared.

Is there honey still for tea?

Signs put up by local bee keeper. Please report any swarms to the number on the poster.

Do Not Disturb the Terns

It is nesting time for the Cemlyn terns. Please do not disturb them. Posts have been erected to block off  the area closest to the nest site in the lagoon.
