A Valley Birder
Just thought I would mention how much we enjoyed a trip to Conwy which included three visits to the RSPB reserve.
It was a bit quiet there, but I imagine the high winds put the birds into shelter!
Visitor centre and coffee shop staff were cheery and very helpful. Volunteers were numerous. Thanks especially to Paul.
Highlights are water rail, sparrowhawk, small flocks of dunlin, teal and shoveler, occasional reed bunting, black tailed godwit and a very close curlew.
Starling numbers were in the hundreds, not thousands. Good evening display though with many fragmented groups heading into the reeds before numbers built up enough to be impressive.
