We booked 4 nights in the Premier Inn in Caernarfon with a view to using it as a base for touring Anglesey and The Lleyn Peninsula. On our way we stopped at RSPB Conwy for a spot of lunch and a walk around the reserve. The House Martins and Swallows were flying over the water in their masses. There were also a few swifts. It was a pretty good day weather-wise so we walked all the way round the lakes and came back along the estuary side. We were told that a Water Rail had been seen but it managed to elude us.<\/p>\n
