Hilbre from West Kirby Marine Lake Promenade.
Distance: 4.8 miles. Climb: 100'.
Temperature: Around 5 Celsius. Beaufort Wind Force: 3, just a Gentle but cool breeze.
Birds seen or heard included: Feral pigeon, Black headed gull, Herring gull, Little egret, Oystercatcher, Ringed plover, Common redshank, Turnstone, Common starling, Pied wagtail and Carrion crow.
This was a good day for walking, cool but bright and sunny. Lots of others thought so as well, I've never seen so many people walking along the promenade at New Brighton.
Later on West Kirby Marine Lake was equally popular, with parking spaces next to the lake being hard to find.
