Waders and Poetry

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Waders and Poetry

Wading birds on the Dee Estuary, and on the trail of poetry in Pembrokeshire.

Redshank, Dunlin and Grey Plover, three waders at risk, and post a nature poem on the Pembrokeshire coastal path.

Campaigners fear the closure of visitor centres at three beauty spots.  Natural Resources Wales say Ynyslas visitor centre near Borth, Bwlch Nant yr Arian, near Ponterwyd,  and Coed y Brenin, near Dolgellau are under review due to financial pressures.  

Birds of Conservation concern - we continue our monthly look at birds at risk in the company of Wales' ornithologists - this month we have a trio of waders at RSPB Point of Ayr reserve.

The poetry trail in Pembrokeshire - why boxes are popping up on our coastal path inviting passers-by to stop and create a  poem inspired by the natural world
