The first lambs of the year on one o our walks.
Thankfully when we returned a the end of our walk the "poo fairy" had been!

The weather today was much better than the forecast, pleasantly warm and not as windy.
As we approached our usual path through Coed Bron Garth, Ed’s it might be worth heading along the road to St. Cysteninn’s Church to see if the Snowdrops were out. Thankfully they were.
Lunch was taken on the western edge of Glanwyddwn in a relatively sheltered spot and using a convenient wall to sit on.
After lunch we experience the worst part of our walk, too much mud and boggy terrain everywhere, but we all survived and finished the walk wondering when we would be able to clean our boots.
Birds seen or heard today included: Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Rook, Common blackbird, Black billed magpie, Blue tit, European robin, Great tit, Common buzzard, Great spotted woodpecker.
An enjoyable walk, despite ending up with muddy boots, but home early enough to being able to clean them outside before it was too dark.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Albion in Conwy where several beers were sampled by those who weren’t driving (Nigel and Michel).
