Day Out To RSPB Conwy 21 November 2012
We had stayed over from the previous day staying at the Deganwy Spa hotel which was pricey but nicely located on the estuary. The RSPB site at Conwy had opened up again so we headed off there first thing in the morning. We took a walk down the long permiiter path until the coffee shop was opened. There were unbelievable numbers of Robins; I would guess that we must have seen 30 dotted every few yards around the site. There were large numbers of Blackbirds as well and a few Wrens. There were plenty of Goldfinches fluttering around and a few Greenfinches and Dunnocks were also to be seen. There were quite a few birders hanging around various locations all in search of the Firecrests that one birder told us he had seen at first light. Later on in the day we found that nobody had seen them after this but they were usually to be found – if you could find them – by the little bridge over the pond.
