Morlais Hill

I arrived half an hour early before meeting the cameraman for a film about Cwm Taf Fechan, so popped up on to the limestone of Morlais Castle Hill to look for bryophytes.  I hadn't looked at this area before and had high hopes, but time was against me and I didn't get far.  Between SO045097 and SO046098 I noted the following more interesting species: Entosthodon obtusus on vertical clay by the footpath with Calypogeia fissa; Fissidens incurvus, Pleuridium subulatum and Tortula modica on anthills; abundantly fruiting Tortella tortuosa; Bryum pallens and Thuidium assimile (photo below) in turf by a flush; and Conocephalum salebrosum on damp limestone.

Barry, my dataset doesn't have any of the 2006 bryo survey data made by Graham and me; have you got it all from SEWBReC or BRC?  Things like Riccia beyrichiana, R subbifurca, Seligeria acutifolia, S pusilla etc.

    I have 76 records of yours from vc41 for that year (from Lamby seawall & Afon Rhymni upstream of Maesycwmmer Bridge) and none for Graham. Dave said he's hoping to provide me with a sync file next week with your 2013 & 2014 data. Is he likely to have your 2006 records in his system too?

    I wrote on the report that the data would be sent to the LRCs and asked them not to reinput, so it's encouraging they didn't. I'm not quite sure why I never sent it though. I'll resend.

    Great thanks, it sounds like there are some significant records in that batch.

    I have checked NBN and the records are all in the BBS/BRC dataset, so they should have been sent to you by Oli when you started as Recorder.

    OK I'll have to check what files I have received, I kow there's one batch which is just half way being sorted for importing.
