En: Great excitement filled the atmosphere in Eryri as Rhys and Eira began their wild survey, gazing at the nightmarish red-gold landscape of the park. Cy: Roedd y gwynt wedi dechrau chwythu'n gryf o dan wawr porffor, gan gynnig profiad gwefreiddiol yn y gaeaf. En: The wind began to blow strongly under a purple dawn, offering a thrilling experience in the winter. Cy: Roedd Rhys yn symud ymlaen, ei gamera yn ei law, yn barod i ddal y golygfa berffaith pa bryd bynnag fyddai hynny'n dod. En: Rhys moved forward, camera in hand, ready to capture the perfect scene whenever it might appear. Cy: Eira, â'i bag o gyfarpar ac o bwyslais ar fanwl gywirdeb, roedd yn edrych arnodd bryderus. En: Eira, with her bag of equipment and an emphasis on precision, was watching him anxiously. Cy: "Mae'n hanfodol i ni gadw at amserlen y diwrnod, Rhys," meddai hi, ei llais yn cylchdroi gyda phryder. En: "It's essential we stick to today's schedule, Rhys," she said, her voice swirling with concern. Cy: "Mae'r tywydd yn troi, a ni ddylem lithro o'r llwybr." En: "The weather is turning, and we shouldn't stray from the path." Cy: O flodyn y llygaid, Rhys wnaeth gofnodi'r dirwedd o'i flaen gyda'i lens. En: From the corner of his eye, Rhys recorded the landscape before him with his lens. Cy: "Rhaid i mi ddod o hyd i dîn, Eira," ymatebodd ef gyda phenderfyniad. En: "I have to find a nest, Eira," he replied with determination. Cy: Yr oedd y banci oedd yn anrheg gwell na unrhyw darlunod arall yn ei feddwl. En: A bank of cloud was more exciting than any other picture in his mind. Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw symud ymhellach i mewn i goed y goedwig drwchus, roedd Rhys yn gweld y duw yn lleidio ar ei ben. En: As they moved further into the dense forest trees, Rhys felt the tension easing off him. Cy: "Mae gen i'r teimlad fod yma," meddai ef gan aros. En: "I have a feeling it's here," he said, pausing. Cy: Roedd y naw yn ymylu, yn barod ar unrhyw foment i ddod a thorri un o'r golygfeydd mwyaf prin. En: Dusk was nearing, ready at any moment to come and break one of the rarest views. Cy: Wedi oriau o aros mynych, dim ond y seiren cerwi i gyd i dorri'r tawelwch, fe aeth Rhys ychydig y tu hwnt, tuag at fan distaw eitha’r coed. En: After hours of frequent waiting, only the sound of the deer broke the silence, and Rhys moved a little further, towards the quieter part of the woods. Cy: Yna, drws ago nid oedd wedi ystyried chwaden ef yn y fan hon, mae'r geni a disgwyliedig, gyda'i bol goch yn byw a’i lygaid yn torri trwy dywyllwch. En: Then, where he hadn't expected, a rare spectacle awaited—a bird with a red belly and eyes piercing through the darkness. Cy: Ond roedd rhywbeth arall yn y gôg bach hwnnw. En: But there was something else in that little hollow. Cy: Nyth. En: A nest. Cy: Dechreuodd Rhys godi ei gamera yn araf, ond gydag annhwyn yn tyfu yn ei brest. En: Rhys began to raise his camera slowly, but with nervousness growing in his chest. Cy: Pan sylwodd am yr wyau, rhoddodd ei gamera i lawr, y poses peryglus yn fwy gwydd yn ei ben. En: When he noticed the eggs, he put his camera down, the dangerous pose more evident in his mind. Cy: Roedd y dewis yn glir. En: The choice was clear. Cy: "Does dim llun sydd gwerth ymatal bwy fi mewn lesmawnod fel hyn," meddai wrth ei hun finally. Rhoddodd winc. En: "No photo is worth risking a moment like this," he finally said to himself, giving a wink. Cy: Wedi cyrraedd yn ôl, fe edrychodd Eira mewn ffordd newydd arno. En: Back at their base, Eira looked at him anew. Cy: "Rhaid dweud bod gwiriadu’n braf," dywedodd hi yn ddag. En: "I must say that verification is satisfying," she said with a chuckle. Cy: "Mae'n bleser gweithio ochr yn ochr â rhywun sy’n gwybod mwy a’r amgyalchedd hwn." En: "It's a pleasure to work alongside someone who knows so much about this environment." Cy: Roedd Rhys wedi dysgu’r wers bwysig. En: Rhys had learned an important lesson. Cy: Roedd y tirlun yn oxog, Duw gyda'i golau’n tynnu llun o’r bywyd. En: The landscape was magnificent, with nature painting a picture of life. Cy: Mae gweithio gyda gilydd o ganlyniad iechyd ein Nod fwy na mwy ddetholus. En: Working together resulted in the health of their aim being more selective. Cy: Roedd Eira yn edrych ar wyneb Rhys, a dywedodd, "Diolch am wrando." En: Eira looked at Rhys's face and said, "Thank you for listening." Cy: Ac roedd rhywbeth newydd yn tyfu yn Rhys, nid dim ond dawn ffotograffiaeth, ond hefyd, dealltwriaeth ddyfnach o'r nod o wyllt a dirwedd. En: And something new was growing in Rhys, not just the gift of photography but also a deeper understanding of the purpose of the wild and landscap
