Hi

Just walked back from an hour in the gym, body sorted then off to my AA meeting at 12 to sort of sort the mind, Photo taken walking back from gym.

Rubbish weather here in North Wales for last two days. Hope it will improve by tomorrow as we are planning to go to South Stark on Anglesey to take pictures of puffins and have lunch somewhere. Fingers crossed.

Any pictures or puffins?

Well the rains stayed away so far, I'm in the Badgers Tearoom with coffee and a teacake, now can I ride home dry?

Just got back from walking the dog. I am as damp as the dog.

Started off bright and sunny this morning, not lasted long

We still have sun, but its bound to hiss down as soon as I leave home.

Morning all from a soggy Barnet. Not much to say about the weather. looks like a day indoors.

Hairdryer?

 

[numbnuts]

We've got rain now

 

[welsh dragon]

Same here. The rain has finally arrived.

My 300 mm lens was nowhere strong enough to get a close up of the puffins so this the best I could do which is not much and that is after cropping it.

We still had a good day out and a good meal at the Sea Shanty restaurant in Treaddur Bay. Got some good shots of the lighthouse though.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Did you see the Choughs at South Stack?
I hope you walked the steps to the lighthouse......into the naughty corner if you didnt.
I think the sea shanty is a newish place. Cant recall it from 5 years ago.

We haven't seen any of the predicted rain here yet, its not arrived. I'm sat here thinking do I don't I ride.

It was raining when I left the cafe, I thought about following the same loop I did on the way out, but instead just ran for home, arrived more than a bit soggy, got of the bike, parked it and dived in the shower. So a little 36 miler for me this morning, which is more miles than I was expecting.

Looks like a razorbill on the cliffs but I could be wrong.

If I’m of a mind I’ll cycle to the very top of the hill, sit on the bench and watch the choughs’ fantastic flying displays. Then try and hit forty mph downhill

The Sea Shanty restaurant is a couple of years old and was built near the site of the old Sea Shanty cafe.

I think you are correct re Razorbill. I struggle with Razorbiil & Guillemot from a distance.
