Mustelid Monday scattrick from the Mawddach. Pine martens have a varied seasonal diet and these 3 scats from yesterdays hike confirm. Fur, feather and possibly reptile ? Brown squidgy one the mystery.

Faux #standingstonesunday offerings from the slopes of Y Garn Fach. All three erratics and the huge chambered boulder are in a small area of banging Celtic rainforest. Any books or papers on Sacred Groves ?

Dont know what is more amazing - the amount and variety of Peltigera lichens on this "forestry commissioned" 100 years ago farm house or the window frame that still has paint on !
