What a glorious day this turned out to be. Sunny all day, virtually no wind and pleasantly warm - perfect for walking. This was a day to linger and just take in the fantastic views or enjoy the birds singing, admire the splash of Spring flowers or the fluttering butterflies or have a chat with the locals! Today we heard the first Cuckoo of the year calling, and recalled that it was in the same area last year where we had seen them.
Other birds seen or heard today included:Buzzard, Kestrel, Meadow pipit, Tree pipit, Carrion crow, Magpie, Jackdaw, Raven, Robin, Chaffinch, Willow warbler, Chiffchaff, Goosander, Mallard, Little egret, Grey heron. Blackbird, Herring gull, Greenfinch, Swallow, Sand martin, House sparrow, Canada goose, Pheasant, Blue tit, Great tit, Pied wagtail, Grey wagtail, Wheatear and Dipper.
Much debate ensued concerning a small white flower that had leaves on separate stems coming from straight from the roots, identified as Wood Sorrel.

After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn. A pint of Lees bitter in fine condition, as it usually is at the Britannia, the perfect way to end the day!
