Descripción

There are few birding locations in the mining valleys of South Wales so this one, Parc Penallta, begun 1996, is very welcome. Good habitat for warblers, Jilguero Europeo, Serreta Grande, Garza Real, Mirlo-acuático Europeo, Martín Pescador Común, Pico Picapinos and Pito Real. Orchids in the meadows.
