Connah’s Quay, Shotwick, Burton and Parkgate 12th February 2019
We were supposed to go to Frodsham with the birding group on the 12th but they decided they were going to park on the motorway bridge and walk from there. Several people opted out of this for their own reasons but I just thought that there wasn’t much likelihood of seeing anything much there that
