Harris Hikers Adventures (Solo for some) Wednesday 3rd June 2020

In celebration of the falling rain.

Mainly Lesser black back gulls on the school field.

Two Herring gulls with the Lesser black back gulls.

Herring gulls with Lesser black back gulls.

This is the greatest number of gulls that I have seen on the field this year. 

It is amazing what a bit of rain will do.

A Rapid Riverside Walk Between Showers.

The Police helicopter heading towards Chester.

Spot the song thrush trying to hide in the hedge.

Not many out and about today.

The only plane I was quick enough to photograph.

Homes for House martins under the ledge of the Saltney Ferry Footbridge.

Moel famau - not the place to be today.

Distance:  2.4 miles. Climb: 42'.

Time: 0 hours 58 mintes. On the move walking average: 3.1 m.p.h. Overall walk average: 2.8 m.p.h.

It rained for most of the morning, but stopped just before 14-00, so I thought it was worth taking the chance of setting out on my daily exerrcise walk, even if it was only around the block.

It was much cooler, so wearing a light jacket proved to be the right decision. Thee were no cyclists on the Saltney side of the river, and only few on the Wales Coast Path. There were a few more walkers and dog walkers, but in total only about 10 and that's counting the dogs as well.

The birds were obviously hunkering down, but those I did see or hear included: Chiffchaff, Winter wren, Blue tit, House sparrow, Lesser black back gull, Great tit, Goldfinch, Song thrush, Barn swallow, House martin, Jackdaw, Carrion crow and Black billed magpie.

A few different aircraft flew over today, including the Poice heelicopter, Beluga, and an RAF jet as well as the one I did manage to photograph. I tried photographing the Beluga, but it disappeard too quickly into the cloud and jet was just too quick.

An enjoyable hour , just enough to blow the cobwebs out of my hair (had I got any).
