Enjoying the lovely bright days walking along coast Moreton/Meols. This morning what appears to be a power station was clearly visible. Could this be Anglesey ? Would love to know which mountain ranges I am looking at. Many thanks for any information.Happy New Year Everybody.

West Kirby is pretty much opposite Talacre. There is a gas station at Point of Ayr which is close to Talacre. I have always thought it was Clwydian Range that we can see from that walk.

From meols on a clear you can see across the crosby channel to formby point and blackpool tower. To the left above talacre a radio mast and to the right of it in the sea little orme . Not puffin island and anglesey as thats round the corner.

You can see Anglesey from the Harrison Drive end of the prom. On a clear day. Get the map out and a ruler, you will see I am right.

There's a service rig out to sea working on the wind farm. Perhaps it was that?

I can't think of any Welsh power stations that would be visible from Wirral other than the one at Queensferry.
