Perhaps there aren't too many who would consider spending a couple of hours wandering around Bryncoch Tip and the surrounding area a birthday treat! However, I do and yesterday my treat gave boosts to SN70F & SN70K, now on 117 and 78 taxa respectively. There was plenty of general interest, but the only real highlight was
Ulota calvescens growing on a Hazel branch. Since its initial discovery in the county on 6th March last year, we have now recorded it in eight tetrads.
Well done Barry. Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteA bit of square bashing in Blaenau Dulais has brought SN80E up to 74. Nothing unusual, but a lovely bit of marshy grassland I haven't seen before with some nice heathy patches.
One of the joys with square-bashing is that it takes you to places you would never have good reason to visit. I find it just as rewarding coming across unexpected areas of interest as it is to find something rare ... well almost as rewarding!
