Dan Jenkins-Jones of the Fledgemore Ringing and Nest Recording Group will talk to us about RSPB Gwenffrwd Dinas.The site, located close to Llyn Brianne, has a large population of pied flycatcher as well as other classic Welsh woodland bird species. Since taking on the the Recapture of Adults for Survival project at the site the Fledgemore Group has spent considerable time each spring monitoring nest boxes, which involves a lot of scrambling up and down very steep slopes. They have been assisted by ringers from the Gower and Teifi Groups in what is a fairly arduous task, but one which produces excellent data.
Dan will also talk to us about the history of the site, which now supports re-established pine martens as well as a remnant red squirrel population, sits within a far larger area of protected land (the Elenydd-Mallaen Special Protection Area), and comprises a mix of Atlantic oak woodland, upland moorland and farmland.
