Birds of the Teifi photo library

A library of photos of birds that have been seen in the Teifi area is being compiled. The link is on the left side of the blog

Birds of the Teifi area


The bird list has 240 species and growing with new species seen like the recent Ring-neck Duck, but also older records as we discover them. Many of these old records are impossible to find photos for, but with help from archives it will be an ongoing project. We are very grateful to photographers for allowing us to share their images especially Tommy Evans, Colin Dalton, Dyfed James and Toni Henwood for their help with the photos so far. All photos are credited and labelled with date and location. 

One interesting old record that we definitely won't be able to add to the photo library is that of a Honey Buzzard near Cardigan in 1908, though we may visit the National Museum of Wales for a photo of Wales only Common Nighthawk....

Cardigan Honey Buzzard

This is a note taken from Reports and Transactions (Cardiff Naturalists Society) Vol XLI 1900-81 held in the National Library of Wales online archive of journals 

Eventually we would like to compile libraries of other taxa including Butterlies and Dragonflies.
