The reserve is covered by a large dune system which stretches down to a long sandy beach. There were sheets of dark red Early Marsh Orchids (<em>Dactylorhiza incarnata ssp cocchinea<\/em>) and purple Southern Marsh Orchids in the hollows between the dunes. A Small Blue butterfly was spotted on a flower head of Kidney Vetch. Most of the party enjoyed a picnic on top of a sand dune, while the remainder returned to the Prince of Wales for lunch, where they were treated to a brief history of Kenfig by the landlord. In the afternoon, both groups walked down to the beach. A single plant of Maiden Pink was found beside the path. Unusual plants close to the sea included Sea Stock, the pink and white striped Sea Bindweed and Sea Holly. <a href=\"https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kenfig-seabindweed.jpg\"><div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-306 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kenfig-people2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kenfig-people2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-355\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-355'>\n\t\t\t\tRDNHS members at Kenfig\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kenfig-seabindweed.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kenfig-seabindweed-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-356\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-356'>\n\t\t\t\tSea Bindweed\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kengif-earlymarshorchid.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kengif-earlymarshorchid-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-357\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-357'>\n\t\t\t\tEarly Marsh orchid\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The annual coach outing on Saturday 13th June was to Kenfig National Nature Reserve near Swansea.
