BBC Springwatch in Wales

Springwatch

We were delighted to welcome BBC Springwatch to our Ynys-hir reserve this year. The series may have finished now, but the reserve's spectacular views and wildlife are still here so why not visit and see them for yourself? The team at Ynys-hir have organised daily events and guided walks so that you can experience the wildlife you saw on Springwatch at first-hand. Find out more and plan your visit.


You can catch up on all the latest news and gossip from the reserve on the Ynys-hir blog.

About

The breathtaking landscapes and habitats of Wales are teeming with wildlife. See choughs swooping above coastal cliffs, red kites soaring over rugged woodland and grey seals lazing along the coast. Hear noisy northern gannets nesting on Grassholm Island, and the bubbling calls of black grouse among the lek. The variety of wildlife in Wales is huge - and you can experience the best bits with us.

Our work

Conservation
Wales has enjoyed numerous conservation successes but there are still many challenges to face.
Farming
Around 80% of Wales is under agricultural management, so farming and crofting have an enormous impact on the landscape and wildlife.
Education
From pond dipping to campaigning for more sustainable development education in schools, our education work covers a wide range of activities.
Policy
RSPB Cymru works to develop policies that reflect Wales' identity, species and habitats
Protecting wildlife sites
We make the case for birds and wildlife in Wales by commenting on a range of development and land use proposals each year that could affect important places for nature.
