Connah’s Quay has surrendered to the monochrome tyranny of Shelduck and Black-headed Gulls and Shotton Pools and Deeside Industrial Estate fared little better.
If I had to pick a winner, it would be the cycle path behind the Industrial Estate, with plenty of Small Skipper, Common Blue and Small Tortoiseshell butterflies on the wing.
The Poppies were out too – in vast numbers; enough in fact to keep the average Afghan Warlord and his clan in Kaftans for years.
On a slightly positive note, there are still plenty of Common Terns on the inner estuary with a few birds still hanging around the steelworks. Only six this afternoon, but at least two birds had rather juicy looking fish…
A singing Reed Warbler got me a little interested when it started to go all John Coltrane, but I still couldn’t turn it into a Marsh Warbler…
Until later.
