    A special 'nest-cam' has been set up in Cwmcarn after the arrival of a rare bird of prey.

    Known as "the phantoms of the forest," only 500 breeding pairs of goshawks exist in UK.

    Cwmcarn Forest manager Michael Owen said staff were "thrilled" to find the rare birds nesting on the site.

    "The RSPB, in partnership with the Forestry Commission Wales and Caerphilly County Borough Council, are able to transmit live images back to the visitor centre, making this the best seat in the house to follow the progress at the nest site," he said.
