On a recent visit to Ogmore estuary I came across a Grey Phalarope, it’s the second time I’ve seen them at this spot. It’s a delight to come across such a delicate and confiding bird and then to spend two or three hours working with it.

North Wales Coast – 2 – Glan-y-Mor Elias – 1
It was one of the highest tides this year and being around 11.30am  gave a good opportunity to get into the hide on this reserve, which is managed by the local council, a couple of hours before the tide was at its highest point and sit tight. The reserve has been partly created by the spoil produced when the Pen-y-Clip tunnel that takes the A55 was built.
North Wales Coast – 1 – Conwy
Last week I spent a couple of nights at Llanfairfechan, ideally situated to visit some of the many hides along the stretch between RSPB Conwy and the Spinnies at Bangor.
Queen Victoria in the Mersey
Our timing was good but totally fortuitous, the Queen Victoria, Canard’s smaller sister (Queen Mary 2 and Elizabeth being larger) was due into Liverpool on the morning we were heading back to Wales.
