Bird-watching Weekend/Comin neu Ardd #NBGW

 

Common or garden

 

The National Botanic Garden of Wales is focusing on bird-watching on the weekend of February 18-19 with the help of experts from RSPB Cymru.

 

Staff and volunteers from RSPB Cymru will lead two guided walks per day on the Saturday (18th) and Sunday (19th) around the Garden and the Waun Las National Nature Reserve.

 

The Garden's Estate manager Tim Bevan says there is every likelihood visiting bird-lovers could be in line to see snipe, linnet, dippers and more: "We have a number of different habitats so bird-watchers could be in for a treat. We have dabchicks - little grebes - on the lakes; dippers on the streams in Pont Felin Gat; and linnet, stonechat and woodpeckers in the woodland.

 

"We also get visited by winter migrants such as fieldfare and redstart. The hawks, harriers and red kites are a fairly common sight here, too, and I'm sure there will be special brownie points for anyone spotting our resident barn owl."

 

There will be two walks per day, at 12noon and at 2pm. Please wear stout footwear and dress appropriately for an hour's walk in February weather. RSPB Cymru will also be offering help and advice in attracting birds to your garden and what best to feed them at different times of the year.

 

Admission to the Garden is £8.50 (concessions £7) for adults and £4.50 for children. For more information about this or other events, call 01558 667149, email info@gardenofwales.org.uk or go to www.gardenofwales.org.uk 


  

Comin neu Ardd

 

Mae Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru yn canolbwyntio ar wylio adar ar benwythnos Chwefror 18-19 gyda chymorth arbenigwyr o RSPB Cymru.

 

Bydd staff a gwirfoddolwyr o RSPB Cymru yn arwain dwy daith dywys y dydd ar ddydd Sadwrn (18fed) a dydd Sul (19eg) o amgylch yr Ardd a Gwarchodfa Natur Genedlaethol Waun Las.

 

Dyweda Tim Bevan, rheolwr Ystâd yr Ardd, y gallai ymwelwyr sydd am wylio'r ardal weld giachod, llinosod, bronwen y dŵr a mwy: "Mae gennym ni nifer o gynefinoedd gwahanol felly gallai'r gwylwyr weld digonedd o adar. Mae gennym ni wyachod bychain ar y llynnoedd; bronwen y dŵr ar nentydd Pont Felin Gat; a llinosod, creciau penddu'r eithin a chnocellod y coed yn y coetir.

 

"Mae ymfudwyr y gaeaf hefyd yn ymweld â ni megis sogieir a'r tingoch. Mae'r gweilch a'r barcudiaid cochion yn boblogaidd yma hefyd, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd rhywun yn dod o hyd i'n tylluan 'sgubor breswyl."

 

Bydd yna ddwy daith gerdded y dydd - un am 12 canol dydd a'r llall am 2pm. Gwisgwch esgidiau cadarn a dillad addas ar gyfer awr o gerdded yn nhywydd Chwefror. Bydd RSPB Cymru hefyd yn rhoi cyngor ar sut i ddenu adar i'ch gardd, pa fwyd y dylech ei roi iddynt a phryd.

 

Mae mynediad i'r Ardd yn £8.50 i oedolion (consesiynau £7) a £4.50 i blant. Os hoffech fwy o wybodaeth am y digwyddiad hwn neu unrhyw ddigwyddiad arall, ffoniwch 01558 667149, e-bostiwch info@gardenofwales.org.uk neu rhowch glic ar www.gardenofwales.org.uk
