Hilbre Island
An exhilarating visit to Hilbre, chilly yes, breezy also, but bright blue skies and crystal clear views right over to the Great Orme and what I assume was Carnedd Clywelyn in Snowdonia. There were lots of birds about, including probably about 2000 Knot, 130 Pale-bellied Brent Geese, 5 Purple Sandpipers and at least 5000 Herring Gulls on the West Hoyle Bank.
