We are in a prime location for bird watching in the countryside and along the coast. Feathered visitors include red kites, merlin, goshawks, buzzards and a whole range of smaller birds from gold finches to gold crests, long-tailed tits to coal tits, tree-creepers and nuthatches, woodpeckers, and numerous other species. Plus all the sparrows - tree, house and hedge! Red Kites visit our fields - especially when we cut the hay. But they also visit the area at other times. You may spot one when driving around the area ... it's pot-luck ... but we can tell you where you are more likely to see them flying around and how to tell the difference between a Buzzard and a Red Kite. During your coastal walks will see numerous sea-birds, and may also see grey seals, harbour porpoises, our resident bottle nose dolphins, visiting leatherback turtles and so on - and if you have your binoculars you may even spot passing whales! Cardigan Bay was the first Marine Coastal Park to be recognised in the UK ...
