From the National Trust

I just wanted to get in touch to let you know about a project that National Trust in west Wales are running this year.

Our Dilyn y 'Deryn gyda Branwen | Birding with Branwen events span across 2026. We have one event a month. It's a light touch series of events which we hope will appeal to all comers, especially young and budding birders. 

Branwen (@branwenbirding @branwen.online on Instagram) is a wonderful bird enthusiast living near Llandysul, in her day job she's an amazing sound engineer and DJ, but she has an absolute passion for birding in her free time. We're so excited to be working with her.

The idea is to engage people in west Wales with birding as a way to spend time in nature, promote well being and learn about the natural world on the doorstep. Branwen is hosting a space on her website where birds spotted in west Wales can be logged - it's not supposed to be super scientific, mostly just for fun - a way for people to keep in touch with the project over the year.

We have a free event this Saturday in Pembrokeshire at Ynys Dinas - poster attached - everyone is welcome.

Here is the link to the website and calendar: Birding with Branwen
