Today Taid and I took the troops to a bird sanctuary which is right along the Conwy River valley. Bird watchers in Britain are known as 'Twitchers' and I have always thought that is such a funny term. We didn't actually see that many birds, but it was a gorgeous day. Here is Rhiannon on the phone with Rhodri while Tryfan is busy looking for puddles to jump into.
Here is the view from one of the many 'hides'.
A wild welsh pony grazing on the marshland with Conwy castle in the background.
Rhiannon walking along the top of the berm with spectacular clouds moving quickly across the sky ahead of her.
Taid and the troops on the homestretch along the river bank at low tide.
Looking the other direction, we could see some wood protruding from the river bed and Taid thought it was probably the remains of a sunken ship from long ago.
It was really the most beautiful day ever, and so enjoyable to spend it wandering around in a new spot. We had lunch in the cafe before driving back home to Nain and Taid's house, and I was really impressed with the cafe because it had floor to ceiling windows which looked out at the whole Snowdonian panorama with the Conwy River and Castle in the foreground. The food was pretty good too!
