Birding Group Visit To Macclesfield Forest 24th May 2011
Birding Group Visit To Macclesfield Forest 24th May 2011 The weather looked reasonably good for a woodland walk and despite Anne and I both displaying symptoms of the onset of flu, we decided to go out for the birding walk anyway.

Chorlton Water Park 19th May 2011
Walk to Chorlton Water Park We went for a walk across the Meadows to Jackson’s Boat bridge and then along the Mersey to Chorlton Water Park. As we walked along the Mersey a Heron fledgling flew by and stopped at the water edge for a while. The lake at the water park was as empty as I think I have ever seen it and was…

Bodnant Gardens On our last day we travelled home but we wanted to go to Bodnant Gardens so we drove over to Bangor then down to Betws-y-Coed then up the side of the River Conwy to Bodnant Gardens.

Wales Break Day 4 : Llyn Peninsula and Cemlyn Bay 14th May 2011
Llyn Peninsula On our fourth day we decided to drive around the Llyn Peninsula so we headed down the peninsula to Aberdaron. En route we saw a Rookery of around 40 birds and we also saw Magpies, Crows etc. From Aberdaron we drove up the hillside to the remote disused lifeguard station on the headland overlooking Bardsey Island. It was pretty wild and windy up…
