Another lovely day for walking, especially before mid-day and before the temperature rose too much.
Birds seemed to be keeping out of the way, but the highlight was seeing about ten House martins at Higher Ferry. A good number actually perched on wires overhead, something I had only associated with Barn swallows before.
The Wales Coast Path was marginally quieter than usual i terms of cyclists, but there was still a few lycra loonies about.
The surprise of the day was seeing four vans on the Wales Coast Path - all from National Resources Wales and were undertaing routine maintenace work around the pumping stations.
