‘Lights, camera action’ could be the phrase applied to the RSPB Ynys-hir reserve near Machynlleth this spring!
In the heart of the Celtic Temperate Oak rainforest, where iconic birds such as the Pied Flycatcher arrive from Western Africa to nest and breed, visitors can now hire exclusive use of a pop-up woodland photography hide.
Photographers can capture the jewels of RSPB Ynys-hir from the hide in a quiet, part of the reserve. The woodland stars include summer visitors, such as the Pied Flycatcher, Redstarts and a variety of warblers migrating from a winter in West Africa to breed, along with resident species.
Characteristic species of Atlantic Oak woodlands, their songs carry through the canopy in early spring. RSPB Ynys-hir is an inspiring demonstration of how nature and people can thrive together in this stunning landscape.
Through practical conservation work, special habitats and wildlife are being reconnected, enhanced and conserved. The woodlands are alive with an impressive diversity of species.
Visitors to the reserve contribute to the RSPB’s continued conservation and enhancement of these important habitats and the wildlife they support. As with all wildlife, however, their nesting success and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
The pop-up hide is suitable for one person with a chair is provided. Photographers will need your own tripod. For availability and to book visit https://events.rspb.org.uk/ynys-hir .
RSPB Ynys-hir will be well known to fans of the BBC Springwatch and Autumnwatch series, as the reserve hosted presenters and film crews in the past.
RSPB Ynys-hir is a member of Mid Wales Tourism (MWT Cymru), an independent membership organisation representing more than 600 tourism and hospitality businesses across Powys, Ceredigion and Meirionnydd.
