Amber and I will be off to RSPB Conwy and Llanfairfechan with the local group. I know this is Dave's neck of the woods, and look forward to meeting him.
Anyone else able to get there, feel free to say hi, buy us a coffee, etc....
Oh, and could all Canons be kept in a brown paper bag

Looking forward to it, the coffee shop at RSPB Conwy is well worth visiting

Can't say for definite, but we leave Stoke at 7.15am, stop for about 40 mins at a service station (probably outside of Chester) then non-stop all the way - probably 10.30 arrival if recent trips are anything to judge by!
To avoid confusion, I'll be the Minolta owner with the Tamron 200-500mm, unlike my friend Rob, who'll be the Minolta owner with the Sigma 170-500mm
Oh, and I've got glasses, and a partner with a crutch and a pentax (not related :D)
Look forward to having a coffee with you mate!
And Blue, using a few thousand miles as an excuse. I don't know, people today.....
Pity it was time limited - quality rather than quantity though - really enjoyed meeting you all! Conwy is a lovely place, and deserves better weather than we got. Llanfairfechan saw a marked improvement - though as we were heading home. It's a good place for birding, though mainly at a distance. Egret showed well, and ended up stalking a curlew across a football field - called him Neville, as he was in the right back position!
Once again, Amber and I loved meeting you all - and though we've no North Wales birding trips before Autumn, are pretty much guaranteed a trip to Llandudno over next couple of months. Maybe all meet up again, possibly Victorian festival?
