BIRD WATCHING
Jutting out into the Irish sea, Anglesey is one of the finest places for sea-watching and is a focal point for migrants. The mild climate makes the island very attractive to wintering birds, especially wildfowl.
Though it is only 25 miles across Anglesey has an incredible variety of habitats: sea cliffs, rocky shores, muddy and sandy estuaries, large reservoirs, small land heaths, coniferous and broad-leaf woods, scrub and mixed farmland.
Areas local to the Centre
Penrhos Coastal Park: large area of mud or sea (depending on the state of the tides). In winter months the sea, here, regularly holds the rarer Grebes (especially Red-necked) and Divers. There is a winter flock of Pale-bellied Brent Geese and Black Brant has joined them in the past.
Ellens Tower
More than 4,000 seabirds breed on the cliffs at South Stack each year. You can watch live TV pictures of the breeding seabirds at the Ellins Tower and Lighthouse visitor centres. During the breeding season you are likely to see: puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, ravens and choughs.
ASTRONOMY
Anglesey has minimum light interference and offers a perfect location for amateur astronomers.
