Enjoying good birds whatever the weather
Enjoying good birds on Anglesey whatever the weather!
The weather forecast wasn't great as we picked up Bob and Kate first thing for a day's guiding on Anglesey. Sure enough, the predicted rain and fog closed in upon the island, reducing our views quite considerably. Plenty of warm, waterproof clothing was the order of the day.
Kate still smiling, no matter what the weather
We weren't going to let any weather stand in our way however, as we enjoyed great birds at Aber Ogwen, Malltraeth, Beddmanarch Bay, Holyhead Harbour and South Stack. Star of the show had to be this juvenile Black-throated Diver showing well at Holyhead Harbour:

Luckily the Black-throated Diver popped up right close to us...
... allowing us to take these photos, despite the poor light.
Enjoying scope-filling views of the bird
Even this Rock Pipit came in close to take a look at these birders out in all weathers
A big thank you to Kate and Bob for braving the weather and making the day so enjoyable. We hope to see you again soon.
We've got plenty more exciting day trips planned in the near future:
- A visit to RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands and Martin Mere WWT on Saturday 25th February
- Another Hawfinch Hunt scheduled for Wednesday 14th March
- Just one place left on our North Wales Uplands Tour on Sunday 18th March where we will search for Great Grey Shrike, Crossbills, Goshawks and other raptors.

We look forward to hearing from you!
