I decided to take the path along the west side of the river from Rhuddlan, something I have avoided doing for the last few years as it always seems to be very muddy towards the Foryd end. Regrettably today was no exception, but thankfully there were plenty of puddles on the way back to get rid of most of the mud.
There were plenty of birds to see on the walk today including:- European robin, Common blackbird, Mallard, Fieldfare, Black-tailed godwit, Wigeon, Oystercatcher, Black headed gull, Herring gull, Great black backed gull, Black billed magie, Great cormorant, Lapwing, Eurasian curlew, Tufted duck, Goosander, Moorhen, Bullfinch, House sparrow, Little egret, Woodpigeon, Common kestrel, Greylag goose, Canada goose, Grey heron, Shelduck and Meadow pipit.
It was bright and sunny with a gentle breeze all morning, but started to cloud over by mid-day and a few spots of rain fell as I was sitting at the Brickfield Pond N.R. picnic site.
It did't last until I was about half a mile away from the start, when the rain was sufficiently hard to annoy anyone that has the misfortune to be weraig spectacles!
The rain had stopped by the time I arrived back at the car, so I extended the walk a little by following the path into the Rhuddlan N.R.
Yet another enjoyable very flat walk.
