I had two objectives on this walk, the first was to cross the A55 on the way to Old Colwyn and second to see how far the building of the new pier at Colwyn Bay had progressed.
The day started well, as soon as I arrived at the Llanddulas Beach car park, I spotted a small raft of nine Common scoters on the sea about 100 metres off shore, one of my best views of this bird.
Both of my objectives were realised, but approaching Colwyn Bay, ther was an impressive new building called Porth Eirias. You could walk over the roof, giving superb views along the coast and out to sea,
As expected the building of the new pier has only just started, but it will be interesting to see it when it has been completed.
Birds seen or heard today included: Common scoter, Black headed gull, Herring gull, Oystercatcher, Common blackbird, European robin, House sparrow, Meadow pipit, Turnstone and Goosander.
