A misty start to the stroll along the Wales Coast Path on the way to Queensferry.
The tidal bore on the River Dee near the Airbus Barge Dock.
One of the four Whooper swans near Deeside House.
A distant Little egret next to the Sealand Drainage Gutter.
The resident Common kestrel looking down on me.
Young people having fun on a motor bike on the other side of the river.
The only Daffodils that I saw that didn't look as though they had been deliberatley planted there.

A little misty at first and at tims feeling quite cool, although it felt very pleasant when the Sun came out. on this occasion, I hadn't set off hoping to see the tidal bore, heard a noise coming from the river and turned round to see the bore approaching.
The Whooper swans were still grazing in the same field, but the sound of Skylarks singing was a joy to hear, although I still wasn't able to actually spot one.
