Welsh Wildlife to spot in March
This month starts by celebrating St David's Day, so what better time to showcase some wonderful Welsh wildlife to look out for in March!

Gatekeeper
The gatekeeper is on the wing in summer on grasslands, in woodlands and along hedgerows. Look out for the large, distinctive eyespot with two 'pupils' on each forewing.

Celery-leaved buttercup
Look out for the small, yellow flowers of Celery-leaved buttercup in wet meadows and at the edges of ponds and ditches. It flowers from May to September.
