What a Wednesday! Glaslyn Ospreys Kate saw her first Otter splashing under the bridge at 10.30 in the morning. It’s amazing to see visitors faces light up when we mention these water loving mammals, it just goes to show how special they are. An hour later, a farmer dropped a squeaking shoebox with two mallard ducklings at the site. One was slightly worse for wear after a cat encounter and needed a warm, dark and peaceful spot to recover from shock. His sibling was intent on jumping out of the box to steal some attention from the ospreys. With signs of recovery from the stunned duckling we moved them into a larger box, however we were concerned about how they would cope without a mother. Luckily, a family of mallards swam past the hide - a mother with seven babies - and we rushed our two tiny ducklings to the bank. The mother heard the peeps and stopped, and the healthy ducklings ran across the water surface to join the family - a happy ending!The first Osprey chick should be appearing on our screens this weekend, so we’ll let you know as soon as we see anything.
Dyma ddydd Mercher prysur! Gwelodd Kate o weilch y pysgod ei dyfrgi cyntaf heddiw o dan y bont am 10.30 y bore. Mae’n grêt gweld wynebau ymwelwyr yn gloywi wrth weld anifeiliaid yn y gwyllt ac yn sylweddoli pa mor bwysig ydynt.
Awr yn ddiweddarach gwnaeth ffermwr adael bocs gwichlyd yn y ganolfan efo dau gyw hwyaden wyllt, roedd un wedi cael gornest a chath yn ddiweddar ac angen lle cynnes a tawel i adfer. Roedd y cyw arall yn neidio o amgylch y lle, ac yn benderfynol i gael sylw. Gwnaethon symud y cywion i focs mwy o faint, ond redden yn poeni sut byddai’r cywion yn ymdopi heb fam. Trwy lwc gwnaeth teulu o hwyaid gwyllt a chywion nofio o flaen y guddfan - mam a saith o gywion - aethon ni ar ddau gyw i'r afon a’u gadael ar y lan. Gwnaeth y ddau nofio draw i’r teulu a’u hymuno - dyna ddiweddglo hapus!
Rydyn yn gobeithio bydd y cyw cyntaf gwalch y pysgod yn deor penwythnos yma, nawn ni adael chi wybod os welwn ni unrhywbeth.
