2024-05-26 - Trip Report Day 1 - Southeast Wales

Forest of Dean

Early morning for a few hours driving across the country from London, first stop, Forest of Dean. Hoped to maybe spot a boar, however didn't have any luck.

Found some juicy dung beetles almost immediately.

Lifer treecreeper.

Found a very tiny cave, with a very tiny mushroom inside.

Stopped for a roast Sunday lunch before continuing on towards our second destination, wasn't expecting to spot this big carp.

Blaen-y-glyn

Quick stop for a waterfall trail.

Passed a small pool containing several Rana temporaria tadpoles

My only frog observation or amphibian in general whilst in the UK.

Fan Fawr Uplands

Not much remaining daylight, and looking like rain, but also hopefully not too far to travel to find somewhere nice to pitch camp.

Sheep were pretty much everywhere.

Dramatic lighting as rain approaches.

Also encountered a Pokemon battle occurring between a Pipit and a Skylark.
