Did you know pine martens are perfectly at home in the water?

We were lucky enough to capture this one gracefully bobbing along.

Beyond being a rare and wonderful sight, it’s a vital one. The return of native predators like the pine marten is a brilliant indicator of a healthy, thriving ecosystem. 🌲🐾

Cool off with an ice-cold, minty Aero chocolate cheesecake! 🍫 Available now... or at least before the staff loses all self-control. (Clock is ticking, folks). 🎂

Is that it now for the summer weather this year? 🌧🌪 A very sodden yellow-tail moth caterpillar, its bright warning colouration a classic example of "Aposematism".

For those of you that have been following our John Felix story - here is the last chapter..

Quite remarkably, John Felix's great nephews saw our story on social media and got in touch. Astonishingly, Peter and David Felix still had some of John's tools from the 1800s in their possession and have kindly donated them to our Heritage wall in the Caffi.

We have made a smaller information panel to the right of the main one, displaying a marking gauge and small wood-plane that belonged to John Felix - they even had his name stamped on them!

We would like to thank the Felix family for their very kind gesture, enabling us to put the final pieces of this amazing story together.

So... when you now sit on the pitch pine booths in the Caffi, repurposed from Capel Salem, Corris, right above you is the story of one of the carpenters that made them 130 years ago, including probably the very tools he used.

You couldn't make this up!

This is a sight we don't often get to see - how sweet is this water rail chick!

Juveniles typically become fully independent and able to fly when they reach 7 - 9 weeks of age.

A stunning Eyed hawkmoth caught during our regular moth monitoring last night.

The markings possibly even more stunning under our microscope.
