Last summer our very own Clydach Wildlife explorer group visited Skomer island. Armed with video cameras they filmed the puffins and made a short video about why our seabirds need better protection - not just on shore but at sea too. The RSPB continues to call on Welsh Government to deliver its duties...

All I had to do was man the RSPB Stand during the times there was no talks on. I have to be honest I had...

I’m Katie, and I am on work experience for a week with the RSPB. I have chosen to do work experience here because it was a different opportunity, an unusual job and I get to learn about the different jobs that are involved in the charity.

As you may or may not be aware, there is a bit of a rugby game going on in Cardiff tomorrow. There is the small matter of Wales trying to win a third Grand Slam in seven seasons. So as Grand Slam fever hits our capital, it got me thinking of a Grand Slam winning team of birds. What birds would make the...
