We arrived at the river side parking area in llanfihangwek Glyn Myfyr to seeing a Red kite quite close up, nearly over our heads. This was definatley our bird of the day.
Birds seen r heard today included: red kite, Willow warbler, Chiffchaff, Wood nuthatch, Common chaffing, Common blackbird, Blue tit, Great tit, Winter wren, Mallard, Grey heron, Barn swallow, Grouse, Carrion crow, European robin, Meadow pipit, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Common pheasant and Pied wagtail.
Weatherwise it turned out better than the forecast, less wind than we expected, no rain and warmer that we expected, especially towards the end of the walk.
Lunch was taken at Craig Bron-banog, where we made use of the picnic table with views towards the Clwydians. This was the only time I put my paclite jacket on as the breeze made it feel quite cool.
After lunch our route took us along a path that we knew would be blocked, if the fallen trees had not been cleared since our last visit in 2016. Thankfully they had been cleared - not an easy task.
We didn't see any other walkers on this walk, and only spoke to two local residents, one who mistakingly thought we were lost and offered his help.
We arrived back at he car, having had a longer than usual walk, and surprsed to check our GPS's to find that without ralising it, Mike had frog marched me round at 2.5 m.p.h and this was without his lekis!
After walk drinks were enjoyed sitting outside at the Druid Inn at Llanferres. The Purple Moose, Snowdonia Ale went down wel as did the Piper crisps.
