Birding Group : Pennington Flash 5th February 2019
The first birding group trip for us in a while was supposed to be North Wales but the recent poor weather sent us, instead, to Pennington Flash where, surprisingly enough, it was actually quite mild with no wind to add the generally low temperatures.
