Description
Many different types of waders, ducks and raptors, both spring and winter migrants populate the estuary at Pen-Clawdd. Plenty to see all year around whatever the state of the tide. RSPB reserve across the river brings even more variety to the Pen-Clawdd side of the river, easily spend more than a day and still can miss something.
