    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 23 May 2011

    Birding Group Visit To Macclesfield Forest 24th May 2011 The weather looked reasonably good for a woodland walk and despite Anne and I both displaying symptoms of the onset of flu, we decided to go out for the birding walk anyway. We arrived at the car park on the far side of Teggsnose Reservoir about…

    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 19 May 2011

    Walk to Chorlton Water Park We went for a walk across the Meadows to Jackson’s Boat bridge and then along the Mersey to Chorlton Water Park.  As we walked along the Mersey a Heron fledgling flew by and stopped at the water edge for a while. The lake at the water park was as empty…

    Birding Group Visit To Pennington Flash 17th May 2011

    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 17 May 2011

    Birding Group Visit To Pennington Flash Our planned visit was supposed to be to Macclesfield Forest but the weather forecast was so poor that it made sense for us to swop that trip with the one for the following week – i.e. Pennington Flash. Pennington Flash has hides and is well provided with footpaths so…

    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 15 May 2011

    RSPB Conwy We left Bodnant and decided to go back up to RSPB Conwy for a bite to eat and a last chance to view the lagoon from the panoramic cafe window. As we arrived it was pointed out to us that someone had just seen a Citrine Wagtail which is a reasonably rare bird…

    Wales Break Day 5 : Bodnant Gardens : 15th May 2011

    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 15 May 2011

    Bodnant Gardens On our last day we travelled home but we wanted to go to Bodnant Gardens so we drove over to Bangor then down  to Betws-y-Coed then up the side of the River Conwy to Bodnant Gardens. The weather was a bit wet but it gave Anne the chance to see the Laburnum Grove…

    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 14 May 2011

    Llyn Peninsula On our fourth day we decided to drive around the Llyn Peninsula so we headed down the peninsula to Aberdaron. En route we saw a Rookery of around 40 birds and we also saw Magpies, Crows etc. From Aberdaron we drove up the hillside to the remote disused lifeguard station on the headland…

    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 13 May 2011

    Newborough Warren On our third day we wanted to look at Newborough Warren on Anglesey which had a good write-up in “Where To Watch Birds in Britain” by Simon Harrap and Nigel Redman. We drove to Maltraeth where we had some breakfast and a look around the estuary and Maltraeth Pool but there really wasn’t…

    Bymail@billneil.co.uk 12 May 2011

    Cemlyn Bay We met a chap at South Stack who told us that we had to go to Cemlyn Bay to see the Terns that breed there. This was on our list of places to go but with a strong recommendation we decided we would head there from South Stack. Cemlyn Bay is a small…
