I'm off to Anglesey on Monday for a day's birding. I know most of the sites but not Alaw Estuary. Can see where it is on the mapo but where is the best place for good views, see there have been good waders around in the poast few days. Intend being there for high tide.
Would appreciate any help on where to go for this site please.
Then off to South Stack, Cemlyn and others.
Any hints on other sites also appreciated.
Hope its not as muggy as it is here in Cheshire at the moment, just been thundering.
Cheers

Went there years ago for a Great White Egret. Difficult to describe. We went into Valley.Don't turn right towards Cemlyn - carry on the A5 and turn right when the houses end , Follow for about a mile then turn leftdown to the estuary.( 293 805 ) Park here and folow the track alongside the river ( N.E.) over a slight rise to view the inner estuary.
