🐣 Meet two of the reservoir’s newest residents! These adorable Coot youngsters hatched just a few weeks ago and already look full of character.

Unlike their sleek black and white parents, Coot chicks hatch with striking orange red and yellow faces and beaks. These vibrant colours help parent birds recognise their own chicks and ensure everyone gets fed. 🦆

🐣 Dyma ddau o’n trigolion diweddaraf! Deorodd y ddwy gwtiar yma ychydig wythnosau nôl, ac maen nhw eisoes yn gymeriadau bach go iawn.
Yn wahanol i blu llyfn du a gwyn eu rhieni, mae gan gywion cwtieir wynebau a phigau oren, coch a melyn trawiadol. Mae’r lliwiau llachar yma’n helpu’r rhieni i adnabod eu cywion gan sicrhau bod pawb yn cael eu bwydo. 🦆

🌿🐸 A Day of discovery at the reservoirs!

We were delighted to welcome pupils from Ysgol y Wern for a day of outdoor learning, exploring our reservoirs and spending time with the Ranger Team.

In this photo, the children are getting a close look at some of our tiny toadlets with Welsh speaking Ranger Jess. After beginning life in the water as tadpoles, these miniature amphibians are now embarking on their next adventure, leaving the water behind to find new homes in the surrounding gardens, grasslands and woodland.

It's always wonderful to see young people connecting with nature and learning about the incredible wildlife that calls the reservoirs home. 💚

🌿🐸 Diwrnod o ddarganfod yng nghronfeydd dŵr Llys-faen a Llanisien!

---

Roeddem ni wrth ein bodd i groesawu disgyblion o Ysgol y Wern am ddiwrnod o ddysgu yn yr awyr agored, yn crwydro ein cronfeydd ac yn treulio amser gyda thîm y Gofalwyr.

Yn y llun yma, mae’r plant yn edrych yn fanwl ar un o’n llyffantod bach gyda Jess, y Gofalwr. Ar ôl dechrau bywyd yn y dŵr fel penbyliaid, mae’r amffibiaid bach yma’n dechrau eu hantur nesaf, gan adael y dŵr i chwilio am gartrefi newydd yn y glaswellt a’r coedwigoedd cyfagos.

Mae hi’n hyfryd gweld pobl ifanc yn cysylltu â byd natur ac yn dysgu am y bywyd gwyllt anhygoel sy’n byw yma. 💚

Café refit update! ✨

We understand that some visitors, particularly those with mobility needs, may have concerns about the new café layout.

We'd like to reassure everyone that the café includes accessible tables and chairs, with space for wheelchairs, mobility aids and pushchairs to move comfortably throughout the area.

The image shared last night showed only one section of the café featuring the new greenery bench seating. Reservoir views can still be enjoyed from seating throughout the café.

The artist impression images below shows the full café layout, and we hope that this alleviates any concerns visitors have.

Diweddariad ar ailwampio’r caffi! ✨

Rydyn ni’n deall bod gan rhai ymwelwyr, ac yn arbennig y rhai ag anghenion symudedd, bryderon ynghylch gosodiad newydd y caffi.

Gallwn eich sicrhau chi i gyd fod y caffi’n cynnwys byrddau a chadeiriau hygyrch, a bod digonedd o le i gadeiriau olwyn, cymhorthion symudedd a phramiau symud yn gyffyrddus o gwmpas yr ardal i gyd.

Un rhan o’r caffi yn unig oedd yn y ddelwedd a rannwyd neithiwr gyda seddi meinciau â phlanhigion. Mae modd mwynhau golygfeydd dros y llyn o’r seddi ym mhob rhan o’r caffi o hyd.

Mae’r ddelwedd isod yn dangos gosodiad y caffi yn ei gyfanrwydd, gobeithio bod hyn yn lleddfu unrhyw bryderon sydd gan ymwelwyr.

As we approach our third anniversary, we're giving the Visitor Centre a refresh!

This means our café will be closed on:
👉 Wed 8th, Thurs 9th & Fri 10th July

We're upgrading the café to create more indoor seating, including new banquette bench seating with integrated greenery and window bar seating with high stools overlooking the reservoirs. To make way for the additional seating, our former meeting room will be incorporated into the café, creating a larger and more welcoming space for visitors to relax and enjoy. ☺️

🥪 During the closure, our Grab & Go will be open from 9am - 8pm, serving snacks, hot and cold drinks, and ice cream. 🍦

We apologise for any inconvenience and can't wait to welcome you back when the café reopens on Saturday 11 July.

👇👇👇
✨ Friday Night at the Res is still on and spaces are available this Friday, 10 July!
We will be open and look forward to welcoming guests for an evening of great food.

Rydyn ni’n uwchraddio’r caffi i greu mwy o seddi dan do, gan gynnwys meinciau ochrol cyffyrddus a seddi bar yn y ffenest yn edrych allan dros y cronfeydd dŵr. Er mwyn creu lle ar gyfer y seddi ychwanegol, daw’r hen ystafell gyfarfod yn rhan o’r caffi, gan greu lle mwy helaeth a chroesawgar i ymwelwyr ymlacio a mwynhau. ☺️

🥪 Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn, bydd ein stondin Grab & Go ar agor rhwng 9am–8pm, yn gwerthu byrbrydau, diodydd poeth ac oer, a hufen iâ. 🍦
