The weather was much better than we expected, bright and sunny in the main, no more than a few drops of rain at lunch time withe Sun still shining!
Birds seen or heard today included: Eurasian curlew, Oysteratcher, Herring gull, Rook, Jackdaw, Raven, Red billed chough, European robin, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Common blackbird and House sparrow.
Perhaps the best spot today was a Common shrew running around our feet as we stood on the path near Llys Euryn.
Overall an enjoyable walk. I arrived back at the car before Mike, but was able to sit on a bench overlooking the sea and finish of my hot drink while waited for Mike to complete his extra explorations.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Blue Bell in Halkyn where the Lees bitter went down well.
