Grazing by cattle here is introduced in mid to late summer so as not to disturb breeding redshank.

1 week ago by pontcymru Hybu’r rôl bwysig sydd gan ffermio mewn gwarchod cefn gwlad a helpu byd natur oedd y neges bwysicaf a rannwyd yn y Digwyddiad Fferm Agored llwyddiannus a gynhaliwyd yn Cwrt, Fferm yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol (National Trust Wales) ger Aberdaron ar ddydd Llun Gŵyl y Banc. Roedd yr haul o help i ddenu llawer o bobl leol ac ymwelwyr a gafodd gyfle i fwynhau gweithgareddau fel taith fferm, sioe gŵn hwyliog, arddangosfeydd cŵn defaid a llawer o gelf a chrefft. Trefnwyd y digwyddiad gan yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol a PONT a’i gefnogi gan y ffermwr fel rhan o brosiect partneriaeth Tir a
