[edit] Overview
Located on the banks of the Conwy estuary in North Wales, Conwy RSPB Reserve was formed in the 1980s when a road tunnel was constructed under the estuary, to relieve traffic congestion. It is a haven for shorebirds and waterfowl throughout the year, as well as a variety of passerines.
