30th January


Had a day birding in North Wales but it was pretty quiet despite it being a lovely sunny, flat calm day with a Merlin and a Peregrine the highlight in Foryd Bay at high tide where there was the regular small flock of Pale-bellied Brent Geese along with Pintail, Wigeon, Teal, Goldeneye, Red-breasted Mergansers etc.

                A few other things were seen during a few stops on the way back along the coast including a single Slavonian Grebe off Aber Ogwen where the was also a Greenshank and a Spotted Redshank roosting during the still high tide before a look off Penmaenmawr produced small numbers of Red-throated Divers, Common Scoters, Razorbills and Fulmars along with 2 Kittiwakes and a Black Guillemot.
