Beautiful few hours wandering around Bannau Brycheiniog with my boy. Heaps of Buzzards and Ravens displaying. Stonechats, Wheatear, Crossbills and 2 male Ring Ouzels. Then stopped at Glynneath on way home and had 1st Swallow of the year. #BirdingWales

A great Cudyll Cymru/ Raptor Survey BTO Training Session yesterday in Glynneath with #EdHunter. Learning about the different breeding behaviours was interesting and will be invaluable when surveying my site. @btocymru.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @ospreystudios.bsky.social

#1: Neath Canal
Four locks on the canal near Glynneath today. I think a lot of the canal above these locks is infilled; there were four more locks that lifted it up into Glynneath but these are really easily accessible. And a bit of wild garlic at Maes-Gwyn Lock 👌

Apparently, the village of Glynneath had a total blackout during Storm Dave. That's about five miles from me. Yet my hamlet appears to have been unaffected.

The 3rd Round of the Welsh Cup threw up an opportunity of seeing football played at a ground normally used for rugby. Glynneath Town's fantastic run in this season's competition ended as they were beaten 5-2 by Trearddur Bay at the home of Glynneath RFC, Abernant Park #Groundhopping 🏴 #GameOn #Wales

Behind the door of Day 11 is Glynneath, home of Max Boyce and a fabulous Farmers Market every Thursday.
The next two markets will be Christmas Markets, with stalls, hot food and performances, so get on over to Glynneath Town Hall tomorrow and next Thursday, 9am – 3pm!

Very dissapointed to be having to post this…
Glynneath Town’s goals have been pushed in to the brook at the welfare sometime since yesterday evening.
Why anyone feels the need to do this is beyond me.
