Salmon Run

Ooc and non-avian so breaking all the rules sorry, but thought some of you will be interested to know that the Salmon were running on the Marteg today. Best place to view is the specially built platform over the river at Gilfach nature reserve, between St Harmon and the A470 to Rhayader. Based on my own visits and the reserve warden, it seems today was the first day they have been seen running here this year - consistently at least. Also, thanks everyone for the winter thrush updates - much appreciated.

    Cheers Chris - no rules really as far as I'm concerned, I just want to know about wildlife sightings and this is the best place!
