Today's plan of action was to visit Braich y Pwll and Aberdaron on the Llyn Peninsula and then drop in at Criccieth on the way back to the cottage.
The weather was superb again and a little fresher than previous days, but still 20+ degrees.
We arrived at Braich y Pwll and as we left the car, the first 2 of at least 8 Choughs were seen, giving the usual point blank views we have enjoyed here in the past.
We had a lovely wander seeing and hearing the local Choughs and at least 3 Raven, which showed really nicely. Also seen here, were more Stonechats, 4 Common Buzzard, a pair of Wheatear and a lovely Wall Butterfly.
It was fairly quiet over the sea with a Whimbrel, a handful of Gannets, Guillemots and a Fulmar being seen.
Some lovely food in Aberdaron afterwards, saw us then heading for a wander around Criccieth.
On arrival back to the cottage, Tracey went for a rest and i wandered up to Llyn Dinas, seeing some great insects, the best of which were my first ever Bloody-nosed Beetle larvae. These were a spectacularly metallic bottle green in appearance and i managed some nice pics.
Another enjoyable day out in this stunning part of the world.
