Ymunwch â ni am noson arbennig ym Mryngaer Croes Trelech a darganfod byd cudd yr ystlumod.
Wrth iddi dywyllu, bydd Peter Wilton-Jones, sy'n frwd dros ystlumod ac sy’n brofiadol iawn, yn arwain taith gerdded o amgylch y gaer fryniog hanesyddol hon, gan gyflwyno'r rhai sydd ar y daith i'r ystlumod sy'n chwilio am fwyd dros y glaswelltiroedd, y prysgoed ac ymylon coedwigoedd. Gan ddefnyddio teclynnau synhwyro ystlumod, byddwn yn gwrando ar alwadau amledd uchel gwahanol rywogaethau ac yn dysgu mwy am eu hymddygiad a'u hecoleg hynod ddiddorol.
P'un a ydych chi'n hollol newydd i fyd yr ystlumod neu eisoes â diddordeb mewn bywyd gwyllt, dyma gyfle gwych i brofi Bryngaer Croes Trelech ar ôl iddi dywyllu a darganfod rhai o'r creaduriaid sy’n galw’r lle yn gartref.
Man cyfarfod: Mynedfa Wells Close, Casnewydd NP20 3LJ
