3, 2, 1…Plast OFF!

Thank you to everyone that attended the Plast OFF! 2022 litter pick at Central Valley Nature Reserve in Ebbw Vale on Saturday 15th January.

Habitat

Purple moor-grass and rush pasture

This distinctive type of damp pasture is generally found on commons, as a component of lowland fen, or in undeveloped corners of otherwise intensively farmed landscapes.

Species

Small-spotted catshark

Small-spotted catsharks used to be called lesser-spotted dogfish - which might be what you know them best as. It's the same shark, just a different name!

Species

Natterer's bat

The Natterer's bat can found across the UK, although it is a scarce species. It prefers to forage low down among trees, often taking prey directly from the foliage.
