Bird Spotting at Dol Haidd Isaf

Kingfisher, as spottable in West Wales

Birdwatching is from an easy level walk along 3/4 mile of riverbank and surroundings in a beautiful tranquil setting with many trees and shrubs. There are benches dotted around for your comfort.
An interesting comparison can me made of the birds spotted here by reading our copies of the Ceredigion Bird Report 1982-3, also The Birds of Cardiganshire 1966.
