We had a walk around the Rhuddlan Nature Reserve this afternoon. Not so long ago it was an area of derelict land but now the reserve provides an ideal habitat for nesting and feeding birds and is already home to many species including kingfishers, otters, coots, moor hens, herons and water voles; and has a view of Rhuddlan Castle and the National Cycle Route runs through it
We saw a Moorhen's nest with 6 eggs in it and while the eggs were there in the warm Spring sunshine, the parents weren't far away and were keeping an eye on the nest.
