In our relatively short time at the farm,
we have seen over 50 species of bird [list] including
great spotted woodpeckers (pictured right), siskins, red kites, buzzards,
goldfinches, nuthatches, greenfinches, sparrowhawks, crossbills, redstarts,
jays, heron, mistle thrushes, fieldfare, spotted fly catchers, pied and
grey wagtails, long eared owls and, our favourites, the many swallows who
return to the farm year after year. With the assistance of the Montgomeryshire
Barn Owl Group we have installed a nesting box in an attempt to lure
barn owls back to the farm. We are hoping this will be successful
next year as the local wildlife warden has told us that 7 barn owl chicks
were raised successfully this year very near to the farm.
We are trying to promote the bio-diversity
of the site by retaining the wetland area near the river and by planting
1250 more broad leaf trees. Whenever you step outside at Cwmbiga you are bound to see lots of interesting wildlife ... it is a hive of wildlife activity. |
