We had a walk in N Wales today but we weren't sure if we were on the right track, so where is it?

Thanks for posting the link Steve it was quite interesting to read and I wish that I'd have seen it before our walk today.   We did the Lon Las Ogwen walk from Bethesda and walked down to Porth Penrhyn.
The walk wasn't without incident but I'll post details on here.        It's golf tomorrow    :golf:   and then lunch on Friday  $dins$ so I'll post on here asap.

Well done Steve. Not the correct location but yes it is an osprey nest.
We had to look it up to find out what it was and found this article.

I don't think they want the exact location to be known but it was on Hiraethog moor near Pentrefoelas.

Right, now Gwynant is back in action (good to hear you are fine Gwynant) here is a quiz question.
I am never sure if things I post are really of any interest but I am inspired to put a quiz question on after seeing that this thread gets so many views!

Any guesses? Not Wales!

You know I like the quizzes, especially on a dull Sunday, so I hope you are posting from the above town. ;)

I worked there in the late 60's when the new airport opened, I loved it then, unspoiled, I spent most of 67,68 and 69 and found it very difficult to return to the UK. ......Palma Cathedral

I would have loved to have seen it then too but it is still very beautiful, gorgeous buildings.
Cheers, pigeons for ME!

That was a very quick quiz, all over before I had even logged on.      ME would be in his element there and I've got about 15  of his Pigeons on the roof and all soaking wet.
