	Porthcawl Birding Sites
		I would strongly suggest that you obtain a copy of the relevant OS maps as soon as possible after you arrive, or before then if possible - the one covering the Porthcawl area is Sheet 170 (Vale of Glamorgan and Rhondda), and you may also want to get hold of Sheet 171 (Cardiff and Newport).
		It should be signposted from the middle of Porthcawl, but any local map will show Kenfig Lake, around which the reserve is centred.
		Most birders work their way around the lake, checking the scrub along the way, or alternatively, you can take the very pleasant walk westwards to the sea via Sker House - good migrant opportunities, and there may be something of interest on the shore or on the sea.

	Porthcawl society queries Assembly wind power decision
		The Inspector considered all the claimed benefits offered by the turbines and judged these against the damage that it was suggested would be caused to the seascape environment and to the tourist industry of Porthcawl.
		He argued that: “The visual impact of a windfarm in the specific location of this proposal would be so prominent when viewed from Porthcawl and its immediate area that I consider that the harmful effects are sufficient to outweigh the benefits of this particular proposal.” The Inspector recommended that planning permission be not given.
		The Porthcawl Civic Trust argues that the immediate threat is to Porthcawl but if this interpretation of the renewable energy policy ihas become the norm, other areas of Wales will not be able to resist applications from windfarm developers on environmental impact grounds.

		We spoke to 650 tourists, showed them all a photomontage of what the proposed wind farm will look like, and asked them simply whether they'd be 'more likely', 'just as likely' or 'less likely' to return to the resort if the wind farm went ahead.
		The Greenpeace polling team didn't reveal their own opinions (or the fact that Greenpeace supports offshore wind) until after the visitor had answered - in fact many people assumed we were opposing the project!
