Watching a beautiful sunset in the UK

One of things I love to see is a beautiful sunset, I quite like sun rises as well, although I see less of them as I'm not much of a morning person.

Last year I was lucky enough to film a beautiful sunset from my own front door, something we don't see too many of here in the north east of England.

Rare Spoonbills on the river Wansbeck

Recently my husband commented that there must be a new bird on our local river, as he had seen a lot of twitchers ( bird watchers) going past.

When we went to have a look we discovered these beautiful spoonbills. So I took some photos and made a video, the island is a small nature reserve which is in the middle of the river.

Building a Swallows Nest

Last year we were lucky enough to have a pair of swallows build a nest under our front porch. They went on to successfully raise 3 chicks, which we were overjoyed about.

Swallows are such beautiful little birds, which are a real feature of the Uk, although they are mostly seen flying.

It's now that time again and I'm thrilled to say we think they are back, at least they have flown back and forwards to inspect the nest, and are generally hanging around chirping at each other. Hopefully they will go on to have some more chicks this year, and I'll get lots of photos and videos.

The video here is a photo video I made last year, it shows photos of the nest at various stages as it was built using mud and twigs from our local river.

Seagulls at Amble in Northumberland

This is my video taking in 2015 of some seagulls bobbing in the water at Amble.

I love all birds and I find this video quite relaxing to watch.

                   

The Beautiful North Sea at Cambois, Northumberland

Cambois is my local beach here in Northumberland, it's a lovely quiet beach with beautiful sand.

It doesn't really have any amenities apart from a pub at one end, and plenty of car parks so it doesn't really attract a lot of people apart from dog walkers.

In my video I am zooming into the neighbouring resort of Newbiggin by the sea, well it's church :)

Windmill Reflections on the River Blyth

                                                                                                                                                                                             

My video of the reflection of a windmill on the River Blyth in Northumberland. Whilst fog is cold, and reminds me of the old horror film I quite like the peace and quiet it creates.

The North Sea.

The North Sea

The North Sea is the main sea between the east of the Uk and scandanavia. 

It's often quite a wild sea, as apart from being tidal, it is also very cold and often windy. It's quite changeable.

I love a day along it though, I like watching the power and majesty of the waves, as well as seeing all the different wild

                

English Robin Video

My video of a robin visiting my garden, I've been lucky enough to see a few this year. Partly because I also feed the birds.

The English robin is different from robins in most other countries, a bit smaller and plumper.

The male robin has the distinct red breast, the female robin is brown as you can see from the photos below.
