A late afternoon visit to look for
Short-eared Owls around the upland habitat of Cefn garn yr erw near Blaenavon drew a blank unfortunately. However a single
Red Grouse was vocal and just visible from within a small patch of
heather. Other birds included a single
Kestrel, a
Reed Bunting and a pair of
Stonechat. On an area of trackside sheep grazed grassland were about 50+
Black Earth Tongue (
Geoglossum spp.). These can be found in several places in the Blaenavon landscape but they are nonetheless pleasing to find.
