Birdwatching in the fens

Morning: RSPB Cors Ddyga

Walk the trail through the reeds. Winter brings big flocks of lapwing and wildfowl, and marsh harriers hunt over the reedbeds.

Lunch: Caffi Bach y Bocs

Warm up at the café in Oriel Môn, then take a short walk through the Dingle to look for kingfishers.

Afternoon: Llyn Alaw

Anglesey’s biggest lake, where whooper swans gather from November.

Winter or wet-day swaps

In spring and summer, swap Llyn Alaw for the orchids and dragonflies of Cors Erddreiniog.
