    Flintshire Birding

    Cqnr After a week of slogging around Galicia on the 'Camino de Santiago' is was a relief to give my blisters a rest and return to my patch at CQNR. Meeting up with a couple of stalwarts, we collectively gave the reserve a thorough 'going-over' but failed to turn up any new birds for the year -...

    Connah's Quay NR I am 'patching' CQNR this year - currently on a modest 108 - and having not nipped down for nearly a week I decided it was time for a visit. The highlight was unquestionably a juvenile male Peregrine dismantling a pigeon sp. a stone's throw from the West Hide on the mudflats...

    Flintshire Birding

    Hello, I regularly birdwatch at a variety of local sites in Flintshire, so I thought I'd start a thread detailing my outings. Today I walked from my village down to the Dee Estuary at Mostyn Dock and then along the coastline to Bagillt. Highlights included up to 30 Sandwich Terns on the...
