Wildlife at Ceri

Wales
Kerry is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: SO192874
Close up of the head of a buzzardCeri Forest is a mixed coniferous forest which sits astride the Kerry Ridgeway in the uplands of Montgomeryshire. The Kerry Ridgeway, a long distance regional footpath, runs from near Newtown in Powys to Bishops Castle in Shropshire through the Ceri Forest.

Mammals: Many of the usual mammals such as Foxes, Hares and Rabbits can be seen along with the odd sighting of Roe Deer and Badgers during the daylight hours if you are lucky. We have information about Roe deer and Badger

Birds: Ceri Forest provides an opportunity to view the landscape from the border of Powys and Shropshire, where Ravens are frequently seen in the skies demonstrating their acrobatic abilities by performing their mirror displays during the breeding months.
The area provides some excellent habitat for Buzzards and to watch other Raptors which are regularly seen gliding in the warm thermals. We have information about Red kite
