I am told not being a botanist that it is renowned for it's ferns, mosses etc. As a birder it has the full suite of welsh woodland specialties, though you might be a little late for some, and the best place I know for all three woodpecker species. At the pub in Llanbedr turn for Cwm Bychan, and...

White darvic with 4 letter codes were used on Mute swans in North Wales up to the early 2000's, when the expense and time restraints bought the project to an end. The data base was then handed over to the Cheshire Swan Study group who I think have maintined it since. Basically we found there...

There was an article in an old ringers bulletin about enticing them down with bantam hens, but I don’t recall any mention of tape luring them. Lamping works well, however our usual ringing site has good numbers of winter woodcock and I was wandering if playing a tape at dawn before switching...

Pete, How diffrent to European Woodcock are the american ones? Would it be worth trying luring our? What part of their vocalisation do you play to get them to come to the nets? Kelvin North Wales
