Stunning Golden eye lichen at Aberaman Tip 💛🧿
✨ Golden-eye moment! 💛

Out in the Cynon Valley today, our team found Golden-eye Lichen (Teloschistes chrysophthalmos) on hawthorn at the former Aberaman Colliery.

Once Critically Endangered, this Mediterranean species is now spreading - it was first recorded in Wales in 2015 on coal spoil.
