Set on the south side of the Dyfi estuary, this reserve mixes the delights of a Welsh oak woodland with the wet grassland and saltmarshes of the estuary. Spring is a wonderful time to visit the woodland when it is full of bird song and spring flowers. Our recent land acquisition is being managed to increase numbers of breeding lapwings, wintering wildfowl and wading birds. The estuary is at its best for birds in the autumn and winter, when large numbers of ducks and geese feed on the saltmarshes.
