Anglesey & N Wales Coast

Wales
Vast gatherings of Dunlins and other waders are drawn to the North Wales coastline every winter.

Packed into this island, only 25 miles across, is an astonishing variety of habitats including sea cliffs, rocky shores, muddy and sandy estuaries, dunes, lagoons, large reservoirs, small lakes, rivers, woodlands, reed-beds, fens, mires, heaths, scrub and mixed farmland. It is little wonder that Anglesey is one of the finest birdwatching sites in Britain and its strategic position, jutting out into the Irish Sea, makes it especially rewarding for sea watching. Over the three days we will explore several key sites, with good chances of divers, sea-duck, auks, waders (including Purple Sandpiper and three “shanks”), wildfowl and of course raptors such as Hen Harrier, Peregrine and Merlin. We have a good chance of seeing Red-billed Chough, an iconic species for the island. Our itinerary includes Malltraeth, Afon Braint, Beddmenarch Bay, Red Wharf Bay, South Stack and Penmon Point. We will also explore the North Wales coast and the RSPB reserve at Conwy is a great site for a number of wetland species including Water Rail, waders, wildfowl and Kingfisher.
