Walking back from doing my posting for the day I decided to walk the small stretch of the Cynon between the "Cress" Bridge and Mountain Ash Bridge.
About half way up I noticed movement near the far bank and a quite small Mink swam downstream and then up onto some fallen branches and then onto the bank where it made its way into the overhanging brambles and bushes.
I walked up another 20 yards and noticed some other movement near a sewer again on the far bank. This time a Water Rail came into view. Only the second one I have seen on the Cynon in Mountain Ash. The last one was in the exact same place in 2006.
On Monday I saw 10 Goosander flying up the Cynon around 2.30 in the afternoon.
Unfortunately no camera with me on either occasion.
some good sights and you are getting greedy now having Mink and otter for the year jammie sod .
