Cynhaliwyd pleidlais mewn pedwar plwyf ar bymtheg (Polau Ffin Eglwys Lloegr 1915–1916). Dewisodd deunaw plwyf aros gydag Eglwys Lloegr. Dim ond un plwyf a bleidleisiodd i ymuno â'r Eglwys yng Nghymru – Llansilin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1915%E2...

Mae pentref Llandydiwg (Dixton) yng Nghymru. Ond adeg datgysylltu'r Eglwys Anglicanaidd yng Nghymru roedd Llandydiwg yn un o'r plwyfi yr oedd ffin Cymru a Lloegr yn rhedeg trwyddynt. Yn y plwyfi hyn cafwyd pleidlais i benderfynu a ddylent ymuno â'r Eglwys yng Nghymru ynteu aros yn Eglwys Loegr.

Rwy'n credu bod Dudleston a Dudleston Heath/Criftins yn cael eu hystyried yn lleoedd gwahanol. Ond mae'n siŵr eu bod yn rhan o drefgordd hanesyddol Dudleston.

It’s rare for Welsh manuscripts to have illustrations such as this peacock, and this copy of the Welsh laws, National Library of Wales MS 20143A, has a number of fun marginal drawings as well as miniatures. I’m partial to the two-headed wyvern doing double-duty catching run-ons in both columns. 1/3

NLW MS 20143A, fol. 21r, showing two columns of text each of which ends with a run-on. At the bottom of the page, a two-headed wyvern outlined in red catches a run-on in each of its mouths.

A mega-rarity for Cardiff Bay yesterday - Red-breasted Merganser - the first one I've seen in the Bay in 35 years or so, found by Alex Bevan. As is oft the case for good birds in the bay it was as far from land as it could get (about 400m)! #birdingwales

A photo of a duck taken at great distance. You can just about work out that the bird is a Red-breasted Merganser by the black head, long, narrow bill, white neck, dark back and white flanks and reddish breast

It is that time of year when people become worried about #Hedgehogs surviving winter. Hedgehogs are designed to live all year round in the UK not all Hedgehogs hibernate and even if they do it is not a continuous sleep therefore benefit from having access to food.

Amazes me that you can see a bird like this Dipper almost in the centre of Cardiff. This was taken on the dock feeder canal near where it comes off the Taff at Blackweir. 100s of people walking within a few metres and oblivious to it being on the stream below them #birdingWales #birds #ukbirding

Dipper, a short dumpy bird, standing on a rock in a stream, bird has a blueish sheen to the wings and back, a brown head and its throat and breast is white

Surely the glory of competing for the Prince William Trophy should be enough? After all, who from South Africa or Wales could ever encapsulate the difficult – but at times inspiring – century of rugby history between the two nations in a more meaningful manner than Prince William?
