Llandudno Farmland

I thought about a Sea Watch after breakfast so I went across the road and watched it for 7/8 minutes, its still there 😋. Then I headed E to Little Orme where there are fields easily viewed from the roadside.

It seems Oystercatcher replace Lapwing in this area; there were many of them searching for grub in the grassland. Quite a fair number of Curlew too and Starling. Jackdaws were plentiful with scattered Herrings throughout. Managed a handful of Common & BH Gulls, 2 Rock Pipit seen also.

Going beyond Little Orme was too much of a task to ask my ageing bones, Mrs Jones 👩‍🦰 so I doubled back toward the W shore. This was a bad move; I got badly sandblasted and the bird species count remained stagnant. Worth a minor mention: House Sparrows are vibrant and numerous.
