For most people wandering through the beautiful landscape of the Brecon Beacons is pleasure enough, but sooner or later you may ask yourself, what is that little bird or flower that you see on most of your walks?

The problem with most guides is that many of the animals, insects, rocks or plants in them are rarities, and therefore probably not the one you have just seen. This guide will help you to identify the ones that you are likely to see on your walks in the uplands of the Brecon Beacons.

Don’t throw your comprehensive guides away though! Once you can easily identify the things you are familiar with, the rarities will stand out and be much easier to pin down.

Also in this series: Nature of Snowdonia by Mike Raine.

    Excellent guide to the flora and fauna, showing how it integrates into the landscape around. Recommended as a purchase to carry with you on walks/ read on holiday whilst visiting the region.
