The UK is home to a variety of birds of prey - predatory birds equipped with sharp talons and hooked bills. This page will help you identify common birds of prey as well as some rarer species.

Farming in Nature

From 2024 to 2026, Wildlife Trusts Wales is delighted to be receiving support from the Welsh Government through The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Nextdoor Nature empowers people to take action for nature where they live! Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to leave a lasting natural legacy in honour of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, Nextdoor Nature gives people the skills, tools, and opportunity to help wildlife flourish near them.

Farming in Nature

With the Nature Positive Bill just around the corner in Wales, we are supporting the launch of a new Wales-wide campaign - Force for Nature - and you are invited!

the UK Government has launched an attack on nature, weakening the laws that protect our wildlife and making a U-turn on manifesto promises to be the greenest Government ever: reversing reforms to farming and making energy decisions that will worsen climate change.

Y flwyddyn nesaf, bydd etholiad cyffredinol yn y DU. Er bod yr amgylchedd, ffermio a physgodfeydd wedi’u datganoli (penderfyniadau’n cael eu gwneud yn eu cylch yng Nghaerdydd), rydyn ni'n parhau i fod angen i bleidleiswyr yng Nghymru anfon neges glir at ASau eu bod yn poeni am yr hyn sy’n digwydd i fyd natur.

Mae Ymddiriedolaethau Natur Cymru wedi nodi pum blaenoriaeth ar gyfer ASau cyn etholiad cyffredinol nesaf y DU. Byddwn hefyd yn gofyn i wleidyddion y Senedd gefnogi’r un ceisiadau yn etholiad Llywodraeth Cymru yn 2026.

The Wildlife Trusts believe that we are part of nature and that we depend on the natural world for our wellbeing and prosperity. Everything we value comes from nature and everything we do has an impact on it. We believe that nature should be a normal part of childhood and that wildlife should thrive across our landscape. However, nature is in crisis.

The landmark 2023 State of Nature Report has shown that the UK – already classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries in the world – is continuing to allow nature to decline.

It has never been more evident that people care more about the state of their natural environment than ever before. With a general election on the horizon, it’s time politicians heard that message.

Spending time in nature makes us happier and healthier.
