Wales is a fantastic place for filming & has already been the location for many productions. Last year production company @kindleentUK used @FSCMargam for the filming of an exciting Netflix series. The set transformation was amazing 🤩 #madeinwales #locationsinwales @kindleentUK

Feeling crafty? Upcycle an old plastic bottle into your own bird feeder! Simply cut a hole in the side large enough for seed to flow freely and some small holes in the bottom to let rainwater drain. Fill with seed, hang up and watch the birds that feed 🐦 #birdwatch #craft

Two days ago I decided to fill a log with bird food like my late husband used to and this morning I glanced out to see a Greater spotted woodpecker on it. I can see the holes she has made in various ports but she just perched completely still for 5 mins.😊 #BreakfastBirdwatch
