Wild About Cardiff

Cardiff Naturalists had a wonderful time at the Wild About Cardiff Springwatch event at the Forest Farm Nature reserve and enjoyed the walks we did on Saturday and Sunday immensely 

Many thanks for Rob & Linda Nottage and Barry Embling who were our walk leaders, and to those members of the public who joined us on the walks


We also had fun supporting the Rangers in the pond dipping sections. I especially had fun when my nephew joined me and we hunted tadpoles together - Thanks Osian !


Once we'd admired them we caught them again from the tray and released them back into the pond. I could have watched the hard work for ages... Thinking about it that's what I did


Also thanks to the Cardiff Parks Rangers and the Friends of Forest Farm for hosting the event

If you missed the event this year look out for it in next year's programme

Bittern & Water Rail













Recently been trying my hand at bird photography, and been very lucky to get the attached images of two shy birds. The Bittern was at Forest Farm and the first Bittern I'd ever seen, however I have now seen it on two subsequent visits.














The Water Rail was taken at Slimbridge, I'd checked their website the evening before my visit and read that Rails were showing well at a particular hide, and they were right!
