Nice of the Great Orme dotterel to hang around a bit longer. As usual very obliging bird.

@GaryDelaney Cracking gig. Thanks Gary.

Nice to catch up with Welsh corn buntings again along the very edge of the country with @OneOClockGun

Massive new concrete build, 145m high stacks, damaging to the environment, importing gas to create energy, under the guise of carbon capture!

@TheSnapper1978 Two years ago

[kevin smith @kevjsmith3]

@TheSnapper1978 It was this time tel years ago but the red mark is where I had the woodpeckers. Got the other two more easily on route to it.

[kevin smith @kevjsmith3]

@TheSnapper1978 The nesting trees for the woodpeckers are marked with white marks, although some will be old. They are noisy birds though. I remember crossing power lines and seeing them soon after. It was a good walk from the car park though. Good luck and enjoy Disney as well. It’s all ace 👍
