October fun...

Looking for a fun and meaningful activity to celebrate National Nest Box Week?

Head over to RSPB Ynys-hir and build your very own nest box!

What is National Nest Box Week?
National Nest Box Week takes place every year, encouraging people across the UK to put up nest boxes and provide much-needed homes for birds. As natural nesting sites like old trees and hedgerows disappear, nest boxes play a vital role in supporting garden birds, especially during breeding season.

By building and installing a nest box, you’re giving birds a safe place to raise their young while also helping to boost local wildlife populations. Whether it’s a robin, blue tit, or even a tawny owl, your box could become a cozy new home for feathered visitors. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with nature and make a difference right from your own garden!

Where ?

Our top five signs that spring is on its way to Mid Wales :

1. Daffodils Blooming – Wales’ national flower, daffodils, start popping up in gardens, hedgerows, and countryside, adding splashes of yellow everywhere.

2. Lambs in the Fields – Powys is a heavily agricultural area, and one of the biggest signs of spring is the sight (and sound!) of newborn lambs bouncing around in the fields.

3. Birdsong Increases – Birds like robins, blackbirds, and skylarks start singing more frequently as they prepare for nesting season. Red kites and buzzards become more active in the skies.

4. Longer Days & Warmer Weather – The days noticeably lengthen, and while it’s still cool, there are milder, sunnier spells, making it perfect for countryside walks.

5. Buds & Blossoms on Trees – Trees begin to wake up from winter dormancy, with buds appearing on hawthorns, willows, and cherry blossoms starting to bloom.

Are you seeing any of these signs yet?

...............................................................................................................................

Ein pum arwydd uchaf bod y gwanwyn ar ei ffordd i Ganolbarth Cymru :

1. Blodau Daffodils – mae blodyn cenedlaethol Cymru, cennin Pedr, yn dechrau popping up mewn gerddi, gwrychoedd, a chefn gwlad, gan ychwanegu sblash o felyn ym mhobman.

2. Ŵyn yn y Caeau – mae Powys yn ardal amaethyddol drwm, ac un o arwyddion mwyaf y gwanwyn yw golwg (a sain!) ŵyn newydd-anedig yn bownsio o gwmpas yn y caeau.

3. Cynyddu'r gân adar – Mae adar fel robin, adar duon, a skylarks yn dechrau canu'n amlach wrth iddyn nhw baratoi ar gyfer y tymor nythu. Mae barcutiaid coch a bwncathod yn dod yn fwy egnïol yn yr awyr.

4. Dyddiau Hirach a Thywydd Cynhesach – Mae'r dyddiau'n amlwg yn ymestyn, ac er ei fod yn dal yn oer, mae cyfnodau ysgafnach, heulog, gan ei gwneud yn berffaith ar gyfer teithiau cerdded cefn gwlad.

5. Buds & Blossoms on Trees – Mae coed yn dechrau deffro o segurdod gaeaf, gyda blagur yn ymddangos ar ddrain, helyg, a blodau ceirios yn dechrau blodeuo.

Ydych chi wedi gweld unrhyw un o'r arwyddion hyn?

Powys, Be My Valentine 💕

No city lights, no crowded streets,�
Just rolling hills and peaceful retreat.

Where rivers dance and woodlands sigh
Where stars dance and streak across the sky.

A fireside glow, a mountain view,�
A cozy pub, a river blue.

Forget the chocolates,
Ditch the wine,�

Mid Wales be my Valentine? ❤️

Mid Wales is a haven for stargazers, offering some of the darkest skies in the UK. With vast landscapes free from light pollution, it's the perfect place to witness celestial wonders—especially during a night of planetary alignments

February is shaping up to be an exciting month for stargazers in the UK, with two more spectacular celestial events lighting up the night sky.

First up, we have the Full Snow Moon on February 12th, reaching peak illumination at 1:53 PM GMT. While it won’t be visible at that exact moment, you’ll get a fantastic view on the nights of the 11th and 12th, as it rises at sunset and shines brightly overhead around midnight.
Then, just a few days later, Venus will hit peak brightness on February 16th, dazzling at a stunning magnitude of -4.2. Look west after sunset, and you’ll see it outshining everything except the Moon—a truly breathtaking sight!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Mae Canolbarth Cymru yn hafan i wylwyr sêr, gan gynnig rhai o'r awyr dywyllaf yn y DU. Gyda thirweddau helaeth yn rhydd o lygredd golau, mae'n lle perffaith i weld rhyfeddodau nefol—yn enwedig yn ystod noson o aliniadau planedol. Cyn plymio i mewn i'n antur 24 awr sy'n archwilio'r awyr nos syfrdanol, edrychwch ar y canllaw hwn ar yr aliniadau planedol sydd ar ddod i wybod beth i edrych amdano.

Mae mis Chwefror yn argoeli i fod yn fis cyffrous i wylwyr sêr yn y DU, gyda dau ddigwyddiad dathlu ysblennydd yn goleuo awyr y nos.

Yn gyntaf, mae gennym y Lleuad Eira Llawn ar Chwefror 12fed, gan gyrraedd y goleuo brig am 1:53 PM GMT. Er na fydd yn weladwy ar yr union foment honno, cewch olygfa wych ar nosweithiau'r 11eg a'r 12fed, wrth iddi godi ar fachlud haul ac yn disgleirio'n llachar uwchben tua hanner nos.
Yna, ychydig ddyddiau'n ddiweddarach, bydd Venus yn cyrraedd disgleirdeb brig ar Chwefror 16eg, gan ddisglair ar faint syfrdanol o -4.2. Gofalwch i'r gorllewin ar ôl machlud, a byddwch yn ei weld yn rhagori ar bopeth heblaw'r Lleuad—golygfa wirioneddol syfrdanol!

Did you know Powys is home to some striking castles

From the beautifully restored gardens and majestic architecture of Powis Castle, overlooking the stunning Welsh countryside, to the historic ruins of Montgomery Castle, where centuries of history have unfolded, each site tells a unique story. Don't miss the mysterious remains of Bronllys Castle, tucked away in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, or the striking views from the hilltop of Cefnllys Castle.

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the legends, battles, and royal tales that shaped this beautiful part of Wales.

#PowysCastles #HistoryInWales #ExploreMidWales"

Oeddech chi'n gwybod bod Powys yn gartref i rai o'r cestyll mwyaf trawiadol yng Nghymru?

O erddi hardd a phensaernïaeth fawreddog Castell Powis, yn edrych dros gefn gwlad trawiadol Cymru, i adfeilion hanesyddol Castell Trefaldwyn, lle mae canrifoedd o hanes wedi datblygu, mae pob safle yn adrodd stori unigryw. Peidiwch â cholli gweddillion dirgel Castell Bronllys, wedi'u cuddio yng nghanol Bannau Brycheiniog, na'r golygfeydd trawiadol o ben bryn Castell Cefnllys.

Camwch yn ôl mewn amser ac ymdrochwch yn y chwedlau, y brwydrau a'r straeon brenhinol a luniodd y rhan hardd hon o Gymru.

January 20th marks Blue Monday, often dubbed the "most difficult day of the year.

But here in Powys, we believe the beauty of nature and the peaceful surroundings can help lift spirits and restore balance.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle—whether it's a calming walk through the snow-dusted Brecon Beacons, a quiet moment by the serene waters of Lake Vyrnwy, or simply soaking in the stunning views from a cosy café in Hay-on-Wye. Sometimes, the best remedy for the soul is a little time spent in nature.

This Blue Monday, treat yourself to a reset. Breathe deeply, slow down, and reconnect with the peaceful spirit of Mid Wales.

#BlueMonday #MentalHealthMatters #exploremidwales

Mae Ionawr 20fed yn nodi Dydd Llun y Glas a elwir yn aml yn "ddiwrnod anoddaf y flwyddyn."

Ond yma ym Mhowys, credwn y gall harddwch natur a'r amgylchedd heddychlon helpu i godi ysbryd ac adfer cydbwysedd.

Cymerwch seibiant o'r prysurdeb a'r prysurdeb—boed yn daith dawel drwy'r Bannau Brycheiniog â llwch eira, eiliad dawel ger dyfroedd tawel Llyn Efyrnwy, neu yn syml yn socian yn y golygfeydd godidog o gaffi clyd yn y Gelli Gandryll. Weithiau, y ateb gorau ar gyfer yr enaid yw ychydig o amser a dreulir mewn natur.

Dydd Llun Glas, trin eich hun i ailosod. Anadlwch yn ddwfn, arafu ac ailgysylltu ag ysbryd heddychlon Canolbarth Cymru.

Walk in the footsteps of legends and uncover the magic hidden in Mid Wales.”

From the secret trails of Hafren Forest, where whispers of ancient sisters linger, to the legendary Radnor Forest, said to be guarded by the last dragon of Wales, there’s so much to explore beyond the well-trodden paths. Seek out the enchanted waterfalls, forgotten stone circles, and tales woven into the very fabric of these hills.

Make 2025 the year you not only uncover beauty but also rekindle the wonder of Wales’ mythical past.

The Seven Sisters

Who could forget the Pleiades, the legendary star cluster known as "Y Saith Chwaer," or "The Seven Sisters"? In ancient lore, these seven brilliant stars are said to be the daughters of the mighty Titan Atlas. With Atlas bound to his eternal task of holding up the sky, his daughters were transformed into stars to escape the relentless pursuit of the fearsome hunter Orion. Even now, they dance gracefully across the heavens, a glowing tribute to sisterly love and unity. Yet, whispers of an ancient tale suggest that one sister fell in love with a mortal and slipped into hiding, which is why we only see only six stars now gleam in the night, leaving the seventh cloaked in mystery.

Notes : While the name 'Seven Sisters' may suggest there are only seven stars, there are actually over 1,000 stars in the cluster, with only six usually visible to most people with the naked eye.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Y Saith Chwaer,

Pwy all anghofio’r Pleiades, cytser enwog a elwir "Y Saith Chwaer"? Yn ôl llên yr oesoedd, mae’n debyg fod y saith seren lachar hyn yn ferched Titan Atlas. Gan fod gwaith parhaus Atlas yn golygu ei fod yn dal yr wybren i fyny, cafodd ei ferched eu troi’n sêr er mwyn dianc rhag Orion, yr heliwr ofnadwy oedd yn eu herlid o hyd. Hyd yn oed nawr, maent yn dawnsio’n osgeiddig ar draws yr wybren, yn deyrnged i gariad ac undod y chwiorydd. Ond awgryma un hen chwedl fod un o’r chwiorydd wedi syrthio mewn cariad gyda bod dynol, ac iddi guddio rhag y lleill; a dyna’r rheswm mae’n debyg taw dim ond chwe seren sydd i’w gweld yn awyr y nos, a’r seithfed yn gudd.

Nodyn: Er bod yr enw ‘Saith Chwaer’ yn awgrymu taw dim ond saith seren sy’n bodoli, mewn gwirionedd mae dros 1,000 yn y cytser, ond dim ond chwech sydd fel arfer yn weladwy i’r rhan fwyaf o bobl drwy lygaid noeth.

Hu Gadarn and the Constellation Boötes

In the ancient lore, the constellation known to the Greeks as Boötes is seen not as a mere herdsman but as Hu Gadarn, the legendary founder of farming in Wales.
In the starlit sky, He is forever linked to Taurus, or Yr Ych—the mighty Ox—symbolising his bond with the land and its creatures.

One magical tale speaks of Hu Gadarn taming majestic oxen of immense power, their eyes glowing with the ancient strength of the earth. With these enchanted beasts before his plough, Hu carved the hillsides and valleys of Wales, transforming wild, untamed nature into fertile land. This act didn’t just alter the landscape—it wove the very soul of Cymru into the earth, changing where and how the people lived, their lives forever shaped by the magic of Hu Gadarn’s hand.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hu Gadarn a Chytser Boötes

Yn ôl hen chwedlau’r Cymry, ystyrir fod y cytser a elwir yn Boötes gan y Groegiaid, nid yn unig yn heusor, ond yn debyg i Hu Gadarn, tybir mai fe oedd sylfaenydd ffermio yng Nghymru.
Yn yr wybren llawn sêr, mae cysylltiad bythol rhyngddo ef a’r Tarw, neu’r Ych—sy’n cyfleu’r cysylltiad gyda’r tir a’i greaduriaid.

Yn ôl un chwedl enwog, mae Hu Gadarn yn dofi ych mawreddog sy’n hynod gryf, a’i llygaid yn serennu gyda nerth hynafol y ddaear. Gyda’r anifeiliaid swynol hyn yn tynnu ei aradr, bu Hu yn aredig mynyddoedd a dyffrynnoedd Cymru, gan drawsnewid natur wyllt, afreolus yn dir ffrwythlon. Trwy hyn, nid yn unig y newidiwyd y dirwedd—ond roedd yn gyfrifol am weu enaid Cymru i’r ddaear, gan newid ble a sut yr oedd pobl yn byw, gan newid eu bywydau am byth gan hud a lledrith llaw Hu Gadarn.
