Yn cuddio yn y tywyllwch: helfa pryfed nosol
Ymunwch â’r entomolegydd Liam Olds am daith gerdded arbennig gyda’r hwyr trwy goetiroedd hynafol West Cross. Wrth iddi nosi, byddwn yn defnyddio tortshis i archwilio byd cudd pryfed nosol a chreaduriaid eraill sy’n dod yn fyw gyda’r nos. Dyma gyfle prin i brofi’r coetir gyda’r nos a dysgu mwy am ei fywyd gwyllt nosol swil.
