It's not very often that you see sheep drinking out of a trough.
The Beluga XL disappearing into the clouds.
It's like Moel Famau, Bindweed is becoming an obligatory photo on each walks.

A juvenile Stonechat on an old boat next to the Greenway near Station Road.
It looks like being a good year for Rowan berries.

Denhall Quay.
A good place to sit and take in the view, and realise how blessed you are.
The information board near Denhall Quay, but this is the first time that I have come to realise that there were canals going under the River Dee to the coal seams and the coal mined brought back to Little Neston in starvationer boats.

Temperature: 16-20 Celsius. Beaufort Wind Force: 0-1. Light air at most.
A very pleasant morning for a gentle stroll along the Greenway to Burton Point and then back to Station Road and onto Denhall Quay.
This is a well known walk for birdwatchers, and today was no exception, several with telescopes and state of the art cameras. Cyclists were out in force, I half expected to see Mike road testing his new mega bike! I did see David Jones, who was in the same year as me, when we were both at HGS.
I resisted the temptation of calling in at Net's Café, although it looked pretty busy each time I went past.
Birds seen or heard today included: Carrion crow, European robin, Rook, Barn swallow, Greylag goose, Canada goose, Cetti warbler, Goldfinch, Meadow pipit, Common whitethroat, Winter wren, Pied wagtail, Common pheasant, Chiffchaff, Stonechat, Little egret, Great white egret, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw and Little owl.
Not many compared with one birder that I spoke to, he had a list of 59 already and was going onto RSPB Burton Mere to spot a few more.
