Walk started in reasonable weather along beach.
Intermittent showers on our way up from the beach, no birds of note seen, however, the herd of Llamas has increased somewhat and there was quite a variety of different colours on show.
Just before the usual lunch spot we were besieged by approximately 20 Buzzards wheeling above us - quite a sight!
Glorious views of sea and cloudy horizons from viewing spot on descent from Gopa Wood.
Hit by torrential shower just past entrance to golf club. On Annie's suggestion we sheltered under a convenient oak tree 'til it passed.
Managed to get back to cars with no further deluges.
Torrential rain on route back along A55 to the Britannia where I guess that the usual drinks were enjoyed - I decided not to go.
Hope that this garbled record gives you enough detail for the Blog? Sadly none of us had the foresight to bring a camera (I thought about it but didn't want to get mine wet!) hence no photographs.
Birds seen or heard today included:Heron (looking for food by standing on a sandbank), Oystercatchers, Curlews, Cormorants and the star turn of the day "a Wake of Buzzards" (at least 11 noted together).
Report info by Richard with the "wake" info provided by Roger.
