Wildlife & Scenic Views around New Quay in West Wales.


Scenic Views & Wild Life Seals The Grey Seal is among the rarest seal in the world, with almost 40% of the world population being found in the UK and one of their favourite breeding grounds is Cardigan Bay in West Wales. The Atlantic Grey Seal lives off the coast of Ceredigion and its presence is the main reason why the area has been designated a European Special Area of Conservation......... Dolphins It's estimated that around 130 bottlenose dolphins are resident in Cardigan Bay. They grow to around 3.1 - 3.7 metres (10 - 12 foot) and usually live for up to 30 years (although some have been known to reach their 50th birthday!) Dolphins are highly sociable mammals, living together in groups or "pods" and communicating through high-pitched clicks or whistles. They hunt together too ............ Peacocks & Peahens The peacock is India's national bird. These flashy members of the pheasant family are found in woodlands and forests throughout India and Sri Lanka. Peacocks have been introduced to many countries all over the world, and are kept at many stately homes in Britain. They have a very loud screeching call, so you might hear one even if you don't see it...... Birds & Bird Watching The coastline has lots of varied habitats for the birds including the sand-dune systems of New Quay, Poppit Sands and Gwbert to the rugged coastline of Cemaes Head, Cardigan Island, Llangranog & Mwnt...... Choughs The Chough (pronounced 'chuff') is an elegant member of the crow family, a little smaller than a Rook and distinguished by a bright red, slightly decurved bill and red legs and feet. It is very agile in flight, helped by broad wings with the primary feathers separated into 'fingers'...... Red Kites The Red Kite is a bird of prey and is a familiar sight in Wales. Ask Mike or Alison for directions where one can watch Red Kites feeding in groups, a sight not to be missed..
