No photos from the weekend, but an excellent three days. On Friday I went to Risley Moss where we saw the first Brimstone butterfly of the year and four Slow Worms. Later the same day we went to Astley Moss, where there were at least four Orange Underwing moths flying, as well as two Willow Tits and a few Snipe.
On Saturday we went to see the impressive Common Scoter flock at Colwyn Bay, now numbering around 10,000 birds (though sadly no sign of the recent Surf Scoters). Also here several Red-throated Divers. Then we moved on to World's End at Llangollen, where we saw a stunning male Dartford Warbler and a couple of female Black Grouse which flew over the valley, their diagnostic white underwings clinching the identification.
Finally on Sunday we went to Ingleton in the Yorkshire Dales and got Dipper and Grey Wagtail near the waterfalls.
