Situated on the banks of the Conwy estuary, with magnificent views of Snowdonia and Conwy Castle, this reserve is delightful at any time of year. Birds can always be seen from the visitor centre, and our friendly experts can help you spot godwits and shelducks, or any of the more than 200 different species that have been seen at this reserve
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Black-tailed godwit
These elegant, long-billed waders can be seen on the estuary and lagoons here in autumn. Look out for their striking black and white wingbars as they take flight.
Lapwing
Look - and listen - for the acrobatic aerial displays of lapwings over the grassland in spring as they stake a claim to territories and try to attract a mate. These wonderful birds can be seen throughout the year.
Shelduck
Colourful shelducks are present in large numbers most of the year, with smaller numbers in summer. You can see them in flocks on the estuary and the lagoons.
Skylark
Spring visits to Conwy will be enriched by the beautiful song of skylarks. They rise up into the air from the grassland and saltmarsh until they are barely visible and only their song can be heard.
Water rail
Water rails can be seen from the visitor centre in winter. A bit of patience should reward you with a sighting of one of these skulking birds weaving in and out of the reeds.
