Tregaron Bog (Cors Caron)

Satellite View
Centred on the small [but interesting] town of Tregaron. In Winter, it is not unusual to be able to see the best part of 100 Red Kite [for the Feeding Station, enquire in the town: October to March]. Breeding birds include Canada and Greylag Geese, all the commoner ducks, Hen and Marsh Harriers [most years], many warblers, finches, both pipits and of course, a number of pairs of Kite. Wigeon, etc., over-winter, with the occasional group northern swans.

Ynyshir RSPB Reserve

Website
Satellite View
Just off the A487, North of Aberystwyth, six miles South of Machynlleth. An unusual RSPB reserve in that it combines a western woodland, with all the associated birds [see Dinas, above] with a wetland: Breeding R-b Mergansers, Goosanders, Shelduck, Canada and Greylag Geese [feral], a few [declining] waders, etc.. Winter: Greenland White-fronted Geese, a few Whoopers; ducks and waders galore. Uncommon migrants regular; rarities from time to time; Kites increasing. Nearby Borth Bog [SN 620 910] is also well worth a visit, especially in winter.

Number of bird species: 292
