Cemlyn, Anglesey
Cemlyn nature reserve lies on the north of Anglesey, near the village of Cemaes and the Wylfa power station. It is maintained by the North Wales Wildlife Trust.
A large shingle ridge separates the sea from the salt and fresh water lagoon, which is home to a large colony of terns between May and August. It's also a good location to see migrating waders such as the grey and golden plover and purple sandpiper and ducks, including the golden eye and shoveler.
The ridge is also home to many maritime plants, including sea kale, cabbage, campion and asparagus.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes through Cemlyn and if you're lucky, you might spot a seal, porpoise or dolphin out to sea. The farmland beyond the coast is a great habitat for dragonflies, adders and lizards.
