🌿 Attended the Caerphilly Local Nature Partnership meeting today - the first in 5 years. Great turnout and encouraging work happening for wildlife across the county.

We introduced Glo i Natur CIC and are attending LNP meetings across the Valleys over the coming months, with Merthyr Tydfil next. 🗣️

Glamorgan Birders...there are loads of vacant survey squares for the BTO Breeding Bird Survey in Neath/Port Talbot. Can you spare a few hours to improve our knowledge of our breeding birds?

I can't promise a Scops Owl, but who knows what you might find? #birdingWales

❄️ A new discovery at Cwm Tips ❄️

We’ve been visiting this site for over 10 years - and only just found this new tufa spring, frozen in winter. Formed where calcium-rich water now emerges from the tip, it’s a reminder that these landscapes are still changing.

Trip over to Skye yesterday with @welshnaturelady.bsky.social, rain today and tomorrow so hopefully the snow will clear and we can get home. A few new birds for the list.

Our first work party of the year at our Llwyndewi Nature Reserve. This time for the UK’s most threatened resident bird – the Willow Tit. Thank you to all our volunteers and to all those who are helping.

Ever wondered what’s beneath your feet?

This fantastic map overlays the underground workings of Lady Windsor Colliery (Ynysybwl) onto today’s landscape, revealing the true scale of mining beneath the Valleys and bringing our coalfield heritage vividly to life. ⚒️

Drive up to the Claunie Reservoir, beautiful in the snow. 14 inches of snow over the last few days. I'm a bit fed up of digging the car out.

Our first community litter pick of 2026 in Clydach, Swansea was well attended, with 20 bags collected.

Award for 'bizarre item of litter of the day' went to four unopened boxes of Ann Summers lingerie. An unwanted Christmas present? Maybe someone's Christmas Day didn't quite go to plan?!
