Ynglŷn â'r digwyddiad

Join us to search for the illusive Nightjars, walking the woodland paths at Gwyddon Woods, Abercarn in the company of our bird experts, Rob and Andy. We’ll listen for and hopefully see this elusive and mysterious bird.  Tawny Owls and bats should also make an appearance!

The session is weather dependent and may be cancelled if inclement weather is anticipated.
