A problem with wind? but not in North Wales!!

Waking on the the Sunday morning, at a very crazy early time, was not the plan. But the wind I was suffering kept me awake for most of the night. Somehow the door / flap to the improvised greenhouse had come adrift, and was flapping about like some form of demented giant Sandhill Crane displaying to all and sundry. 
So a decision was made to chase the clouds and get to North Wales for a possible on shore gale!! arriving intact and busting to get at it a search was undertaken, and if there was a Gale she would have been from Merseyside on a walk!!! However the Snowbuntings were there, and as they usually do, performed like seasoned artists, PS. Dont bother with the ASDA cafe if you want more than a butty thing..
So a couple from the hundreds, talk about a lead finger!!!
Posing nicely for me, and others

The most action all morning.

Seed junkie

They really are the most captivating little things.


Practicing for the next flying display perhaps?


The rest of the gang, well nearly.
It turned out to be a brilliant day with no rain, sea miles away not a lot of wind and a reported band of Twite and a couple of Shore Larks. Sadly niether were got. but I will! be back, with fresh batteries!!!.

Cheers Paul
