Bumblebees are amazing – did you know they can detect the scent on flowers of the smelly feet of other bees that have landed and fed there?

With many children in Cardiff going back to school

With many children in Cardiff going back to school this week remember Bute Park is the perfect place to enjoy some time outdoors during the lockdown.
We met this family while we were out on patrol – taking inspiration from #AndyGoldsworthy they were creating colourful flower designs under the shade of the trees.
Have you made or spotted any #artinthepark during your visit – please share your pictures. #homeschool

Jays are intelligent birds that are able to store

Jays are intelligent birds that are able to store food throughout the Winter. They favour acorns and with an abundance of acorns in Bute Park they definitely like having their snacks here!
A Jay will take the acorn away and make a hole with its beak in the ground to cache the acorn away. Have you seen any Jays in your gardens?

Big thanks to the Woodland Ranger, who is part of the city’s Community Ranger Team, for organising the removal of the large tree from Blackweir that got stuck here during #StormDennis

The cities’ Bridge Inspector had requested its removal for fear the tree dislodging in high water and causing damage to the downstream bridges.

The ranger team and the Tree Gang have been busy over the last couple of weeks figuring out how to remove the tree, cutting it down in stages and working to remove it from the water and off site.

Thanks for your hard work team!

Goldfinches have such a striking head pattern of red, white and black. The yellow band on their wing completes their smart look! Adult males and females look very similar. 🐥

Fairies love shiny things, particularly things no

Fairies love shiny things, particularly things no one else seems to want, like old buttons, charms and paperclips.

While hard to spot, once in a while, while walking in the woods, you might spot the delicate doors to their tiny homes.

We were super lucky to spot this while out on Park Patrol!
