What a transformation!

A huge thank you to our fantastic volunteers from the Friends of Cardiff Reservoirs, who have been hard at work clearing back brambles that had taken hold along the boundary fence. 🪾🌿

Their efforts have helped free the young whips planted there, giving them the space and light they need to flourish. 🌱

Great work from everyone involved! 👏

🦋 This stunning Painted Lady butterfly enjoying nectar from lesser knapweed is more than just a beautiful sight. It’s a reminder of how important our wildflowers are.

For butterflies, bees and other pollinators, every flower can provide much-needed nectar and pollen. By protecting and restoring native wildflower habitats around our reservoirs, we’re helping pollinators feed, shelter and thrive.

📸 Have you seen any butterflies on your walks recently? Share your photos in the comments!

🦋 Mae’r llun prydferth yma o Löyn yr Ysgall yma’n mwynhau’r neithdar o bengaled Ffrainc yn fwy na dim ond gwledd i’r llygaid. Mae’n ein hatgoffa pa mor bwysig yw ein blodau gwyllt.

I bili palas, gwenyn a pheillwyr eraill, mae pob blodyn yn darparu neithdar a phaill y mae mawr angen amdano. Trwy ddiogelu ac adfer cynefinoedd blodau gwyllt brodorol o amgylch ein cronfeydd natur, rydym yn helpu peillwyr i fwydo, cysgodi a ffynnu.

📸 Ydych chi wedi gweld unrhyw loÿnnod byw wrth fynd am dro yn ddiweddar? Rhannwch eich lluniau yn y sylwadau!
