Ynglŷn â'r digwyddiad

Crymlyn Burrows is an amazing wildlife-rich area of beach, sand dunes, slacks, salt marsh and rare alder carr wet woodland.

It's nationally important for invertebrates including scarce damselflies. We're very fortunate that Ben, the SSSI warden who knows this area incredibly well, is leading this walk.

We may see tadpoles, froglets, grasshoppers, slow worms, moths, caterpillars, butterflies including Small Blues plus Heath Dog Violets, Thick-legged Flower Beetles and maybe even the wonderfully-named Gold-fringed Mason Bees.

Bring hand lenses to have a good look at insects and please dress for the weather on the day!
