Upper Abercanaid

When I saw Martin's images I remember Mark pointing Hair Ice out to me when we used to survey Merthyr/Abernant tunnel for hibernating moths and bats. Quite a few specimens today noted east of tunnel along disused track to the Cyfarthfa Crossing (Parish Road east). Beware of motorcycles, several trees have been felled, amateur signage erected and the "We are not doing any harm brigade" have struck again!

  2. Re: berries, not as much as we had back in new years day 2005 I'm afraid. At southern end of town just the primary school and the courtyard of Buckland flats with some scraps on Avenue de Clichey. I'll check Cyfarthfa Park when its safe to leave the street. It looks like Phil's garden is the best bet this year, if you can afford the cakes.

  4. Oi Bevan, they were cooking apples and I only gave two lots away this year and one of those were to Mike. My Rowan berries have been eaten by the Blackbirds.
    Mike if you still got cake left I'll be over to help you out.
