The
Red Kite
The Red Kite has made a remarkable
comeback in West Wales. There are now more Red Kites in
Ceredigion (Cardiganshire) than in any other county in
Britain.
The kite in the photo is a
rare leucistic Red Kite - This kite is a colour variation, and has
survived probably because of the various Red Kite
feeding stations that have been established.

Dolphins
Many who come
to stay in or near New Quay are interested in seeing wild Dolphins, for
in all of Britain, the New Quay area is probably the best place to see
them. In the New Quay / Llangrannog area they can be seen from the
shore and from boats which take groups out from New Quay on a regular
basis.

Butterflies
Butterflies are common in West Wales in the
summer months where there is a considerable variety of
habitats for breeding.

Flowers of the Coastal Path
Coastal plants in Ceredigion -
especially those on the sea cliffs and on the thin soils above are in many
ways much like Alpine plants. They are often exposed to strong winds so they
tend to be small
and ground hugging. They must also be able to tolerate the
often considerable salt spray. Many of them are tiny gems - easily missed
unless you look carefully.

Pool Life
The rock pools at the northern side of New Quay Harbour
beach and at Llanina Point show an incredible diversity
of rock pool life. This page shows the most commonly
seen species.
