Back At Base In Llandudno North Wales After A Wonderful Time In The Highlands




Looking forward to catching up with special North Wales birds like Red-billed Chough.



We have arrived home, in Llandudno, North Wales after a wonderful Christmas and New Year guiding in the Scottish Highlands for The Grant Arms Hotel on Speyside. A wonderful time was had by all and we kicked off 2023 with some wonderful birds including Golden Eagles, Crested Tits, Black and Red Grouse, Glaucous Gull, Waxwings and Taiga Bean Geese! Now we are looking forward to catching up with the fantastic birds North Wales has to offer, once we have unpacked and done all the washing.
