Each season offers a different view of the sky and forest and a different set of native wildlife. Owls, hawks and other birds of prey are more visible at different times of year depending on their migratory and mating habits. Avid bird watchers from around the world will want to research the habits of the native birds in the area to know what season they want to visit. Otters, foxes, badgers, waterfowl, pheasants; wildlife is all around you in Snowdonia. In summer it is warm and green but spring completly changes the forests and woodlands by bringing an eruption of flowers across the land. Autumn causes the entire landscape to completely change colour. Our temperate seasonal climate means foliage radically changes its pigment so the views go from green to red and gold in this season, fruit is everywhere and animals are out stocking up for winter. Winter is a time of year, in seasonal climates, that most people avoid and they are missing out on some of the most dramatic views in Snowdonia. Frost and the cool air changes the flora and the shorter days mean late rosey sunrises and early red sunsets followed by clearer and more star filled skies than any other time of year.
