Dyfed comprises the three old counties of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire (Ceredigion).

Carmarthenshire is a large county with a very varied environment. In the North East corner lies the region that was once Britain`s last bastion of the Red Kite, while in the South West you have, in winter, the UK`s largest flock of Scoters. Pembrokeshire is, in birding terms, mainly known for its coastal features, in particular islands such as Skomer, Skokholm, Grassholm and Ramsay. Cardiganshire [or more correctly today, Ceredigion] is probably best known for Tregaron Bog in the South East, Wales` No. 1 Kite hotspot.
