Bird watching
The Dolmelynllyn Estate and Dinas Oleu are excellent places for bird watching, so don’t forget your binoculars.
At Dolmelynllyn, look out for pied flycatchers. They return to the oak woods here every year after wintering in north Africa.
Charming birds such as the linnet and meadow pipit, whose numbers have declined elsewhere, can be spotted here too.
Look out for the larger chough and peregrine falcon over open fields, and the nuthatch, blackcap and redstart in the woods.
Raven and ring ouzel breed at Cregennan lakes and, occasionally, the peregrine falcon.
