Re: Sunday Feb 24th - North Wales
Looking forward to it, the coffee shop at RSPB Conwy is well worth visiting

Think the cafe at Conwy opens at 10am, but if weather is fine I will be there a bit earlier
Carl - what time are you planning to get to Conwy? |

Dave,
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.....

Hey Dave, I should be good to come
Ill post if otherwise. Leo. |

Weather's given as awful, we'll be there as we're committed (or should be  ).
No problems there Dave - a cup of coffee to wake me up after two early starts will be needed! |
||||

Look forward to it | ||||

Leo. |

Cheers Leo, loved putting faces to the names, hope you werent too disappointed.
Pity Carl was time Limited - he was on a coach which was on a mission. Weather was not very nice for walking around an RSPB reserve http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/index.php Nice site Leo - some interesting locations - cheers |
||||

Not at all. Ill give you a shout when we goto Dinorwig if you like? Leo. |

love you to, cheers |

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? |
