Following an already successful morning down the road at Leasowe Lighthouse with the putative �Iberian� Wagtail, which if accepted by the higher powers would be the 2nd for Britain. It was a quick dash across the boarder to North Wales in an attempt to connect with a lingering flock of Eurasian Dotterel on the Great Orme in Conwy. After the short drive and a brief walk the birds where in sight and despite having a 400mm lens, the birds walked up so close at times the lens just couldn�t focus! Utterly incredible, seeing your own reflection in the birds eye as it scoffs a worm down.
