Firecrest Failure!

Myself and Dave went to Conwy RSPB on Tuesday 27th. December hoping to see the 3 Firecrests that have been showing most days for the past 2 weeks. Sadly it wasnt to be although every other birder we spoke to seemed to have seen it! Oh well there's always the next time. We didnt focus on much else at the reserve but did see some Snipe and Curlew. On the way home we had a look at Llanddulas beach. As well as plenty of gulls we saw thousands of Common Scoter and several Goosanders and a Red throated Diver
