Drainage Channel, Morfa Gele
Image: © Jonathan Wilkins Taken: 13 Sep 2006
The flat, empty area of drained saltmarsh is prone to winter flooding and is crossed by a number of drainage channels which are dry in summer. The small Hawthorn trees have been bent over by the prevailing westerly wind. A good crop of berries gives the trees a dramatic red colour.
