Hope all those concerned with getting some favourable coverage for Biosffer Dyfi Biosphere are watching their televisions of an evening right now; specifically BBC2 for the next few weeks as Springwatch, that stalwart of Aunties nature programming is at Ynys-hir!
Isnt it brilliant turning on the box and seeing the intrepid trio sitting out on that decking with the evening sun on Mynydd y Llyn in the background? I am unhappy to hear about the heron numbers going down, shocked by the cannibal Barn Owls, and flabbergasted nobody has pointed a camera at the Pied Flycatchers yet, did I miss that? Being from Scotland, I get such a kick out of seeing these wee beauties round here – they are pretty scarce elsewhere.

Seriously though, this is a great advert and national recognition for some of whats best about the Dyfi area, hope somebody steering Biosphere Reserve developments is taking notes.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I believe there is a Pied Flycatcher nest camera (sadly no webcam) that was introduced on Wednesday and they are very beautiful indeed. I suspect there’ll be more of them in next week’s shows (I don’t think the eggs have been hatched long).
