Semaphore at Pembrey & Burry Port. 21 October 2025. #railway #photography
Viewed from the footbridge across the tracks just east of the station, a close up of the rear of lower-quadrant semaphore PY9. The arm is tilting upwards, though it should be straight, and the finial is slightly off kilter as well. In the background the signal box is visible on the left next to the level crossing, along with another semaphore, PY81.

Managed two beach walks with Lily & Tucker & two hours of litter picking with the Pembrey & Burry Port Grab and Bag. 30 bags of rubbish collected between us! Why oh why do people toss so much rubbish & crap out of their cars. Dog owners too 😡🤬 Need a lie down now

Cleared lower-quadrant semaphore signal PY82 at the end of the eastbound platform at Pembrey & Burry Port. The green crosses on the pole are an indication that its days are numbered: a long-delayed resignalling is now happening at the end of this month (October 2025).

Pembrey Forest/Cefn Sidan today.
Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Twite or Redpoll - very striped belly sides, mostly in silhouette so hard to be certain. Amongst some Goldfinches.

Highlight - my first ever local sighting of 2 Grey Seals just 20-30m offshore on the incoming high tide. Towards the wreck

Focke Wulf 190A MP499, the first of the type to be captured, was unwittingly presented to the RAF by Armin Faber of JG 2 at Pembrey in June 1942. After exhaustive evaluation and testing against Allied fighters, it was used by 1426 Flight until early 1943.

Perfect day for a @slowwaysuk.bsky.social adventure. I jumped on the train from Kidwelly to Burry Port, walking back almost exclusively on the National Cycle Network in gorgeous sunny weather. Highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #Kidwelly #BurryPort #Pembrey #Carmarthenshire #SlowWays #Wales #Cymru

Soon after we had begun building up cohorts for the project, Tony was contacted by Marcus Pembrey, a leading geneticist at London’s Institute of Child Health. His team had identified a 3-generation British family (codename KE) in which 15 relatives had problems with speech/language development. 6/n
Image shows a pedigree diagram (i.e. family tree) for the KE family, across three successive generations. As is standard for these types of diagrams, it uses squares to indicate males and circles to indicate females, with generations arranged from top to bottom. 15 of the family members are shaded in black, which is used to show that they are affected with a developmental speech & language disorder, while the remaining relatives are unaffected. The pattern of inheritance (about half members of each generation affected, males and females in similar number) appears consistent with a classic monogenic (single-gene) dominant mode of transmission, of the kind you might see in a human genetics textbook.
