Yeah well, when I first found the sight about 20 years ago the staff on the reserve called it a 'salt-marsh' and qualified that categorisation with 'it's open to the sea,' I'm as flummoxed about that as you appear to be, but it does flood in the winter. Now, I want to test it by tasting the water when it next floods, and I'll let you know. Because I hadn't been there for so long, and I had to wait this year until the the flooding had subsided, I took a photo which shows its setting. How can I send you a copy? By the way, I'm learning a lot from your excellent videos, thanks.
The salt marsh slack at Ynyslas has early marsh. It's open to the sea and floods until April. Honest!
Interesting ...... and surprising. Orchids in salt water ?

As I've found myself, you can't post images on here. Somewhere up above is a link that displays my email address which would work.
Great video as always! The caterpillar is of a drinker moth.
Is that a big moth because the caterpillar is a snake ?!!!
@@OrchidHunter haha! Relatively large, smaller than an elephant hawk moth but larger than a hummingbird hawk moth, if that helps 🤣
