Coal Tit (Titw Penddu) in my Hawthorn tree. Very difficult to get a clear shot as they never keep still. 🪶 #birdingwales #ukbirding #BirdsSeenIn2025

Bore da Cymru! 🌧️

🦆 It's been wet, it's been windy - but did you see any wonderful wildlife over the weekend?

🦆 Mae hi wedi bod yn wlyb, a'n wyntog - ond a welsoch chi unrhyw fywyd gwyllt gwych dros y penwythnos? 🌧️
