Feeling the cold? The furry Fox Moth caterpillar is well prepared for hibernation, before emerging again in the early spring sunshine then pupating in April. It’s seen in a range of habitats including peatland and is named after the reddish colour of the male moth. @natreswales.bsky.social #Nature

Teimlo’r oerfel? Daw côt flewog lindys Gwyfyn y Cadno yn handi wrth aeafgysgu. Bydd yn ailymddangos yn haul y gwanwyn cyn chwilera mis Ebrill. Gwelir ar rychwant o gynefinoedd gan gynnwys mawndir. Enwir ar sail lliw cochlyd y gwyfyn gwrywaidd. @natreswales.bsky.social #Natur Diolch am y llun Lucia.

Excellent news re Barnston Estate peatland restoration at an ancient bog straddling Welsh and English border near Wrexham. The restoration partnership includes @natreswales.bsky.social & its National Peatland Action Programme, and @naturalengland.bsky.social. businessnewswales.com/estate-signs...

Newyddion da am adfer mawndir Ystâd Barnston; cors hynafol sy'n ymestyn dros y ffin rhwng Cymru a Lloegr, ger Wrecsam. Mae'r bartneriaeth adfer yn cynnwys y Rhaglen Weithredu Genedlaethol ar Fawndiroedd @natreswales.bsky.social, a @naturalengland.bsky.social. businessnewswales.com/estate-signs...

Beauty on the bog, even in the rain. NPAP’s Lucia captured this wonderful image of a Black Darter at Cors Goch. #WalesPeatlandAction #HighNatureLowCarbon @natreswales.bsky.social #nature

Harddwch yn y glaw ar y gors. Llun Gwäell Ddu / Picellwr Du, gan Lucia o’r Rhaglen Fawndir Genedlaethol, ar Gors Goch. #AdferMawndirCymru #NaturUwchCarbonIs @natreswales.bsky.social #Natur

Julie James MS – who in 2022 as Minister for Climate Change announced Welsh Gov’s aim to triple peatland restoration – today reviewed restoration at Llyn Llech Owain, delivered in partnership with @carmscouncil.bsky.social and funded via National Peatland Action Programme @natreswales.bsky.social.

Heddiw, adolygodd Julie James AS – a gyhoeddodd yn 2022 fel Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd nod y Llywodraeth i dreblu adfer mawndir – yr adferiad @ Llyn Llech Owain. Gweithredwyd mewn partneriaeth â @carmscouncil.bsky.social efo cyllid y Rhaglen Weithredu Genedlaethol ar Fawndir @natreswales.bsky.social

A rarity! Austin’s Bog Moss at Gors Goch. Sphagnum austinii is found in undisturbed sites in raised and blanket bog. Of significant conservation concern across Europe, in Wales it's know at only two peatland sites. Thanks to @natreswales.bsky.social's Dave Reed for the photo. #peatlands #sphagnum

Migwyn prin! Migwyn Austinar Gors Goch. Mae Sphagnum austinii yn fwsogl a geir mewn llecynnau heb darfu arnynt ar orgorsydd a chyforgorsydd. Mae o bryder cadwraeth ledled Ewrop. Yng Nghymru ceir dim ond ar ddau safle mawndir. Diolch i Dave Reed @natreswales.bsky.social am y llun.

What joy in today’s team meeting as Andrea relayed spotting a red-listed Rosy Marsh Moth – and taking a quick snap. Its survival is a mark of the successful restoration at Cors Fochno and Caron, as it thrives on bog myrtle which grows on wet peatland. @natreswales.bsky.social

Am gyffro yn y cyfarfod tîm wrth i Andrea adrodd ar weld Gwrid y Gors ddoe - a bachu llun sydyn ohono. Mae goroesiad y gwyfyn yn arwydd o lwyddiant y gwaith adfer ar gorsydd Fochno a Caron gan ei fod yn dibynnu ar ffyniant Helygen Fair a dyf ar mawndir gwlyb. @natreswales.bsky.social

Worried by the heat? The worry for bog folk is for creatures that thrive in wetness… like this leech! Leeches are hermaphrodites, with both male & female reproductive organs. Predatory or parasitic carnivores, only 1 of UK’s 17 species, is known to feed on human blood: the medicinal leech. #wetland

Gofidio am y gwres? Gofid ar y gors yw am greaduriaid sy’n ffynnu ar wlypni…megis gelen! Mae gelen yn ddeuryw, gydag organau atgenhedlu gwrywaidd a benywaidd. Yn gigysydd ysglyfaethus neu barasitig, dim ond 1 o 17 rhywogaeth y DG sy'n bwydo ar waed dynol, sef yr elen feddyginiaethol.

Good days… Thanks to all who engaged with peatland @eisteddfod.cymru. Special thanks to Elinor Gwynn for a fascinating presentation on peatlands: stories, verse, and art work. In due course, we hope to share her winning article on Tywi peatlands. @natreswales.bsky.social @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social
