Goldcrest

Along with the firecrest, the goldcrest is the UK’s smallest bird which is probably the reason I have never seen one – that was until this little fellow decided to appear.  The light was very poor at the time which is why the shots are not as sharp as I would have liked.

A Punk Highland Coo?

Took this picture of a highland cow (known as coo in Scottish slang) and my mind went immediately back to my punk days in the 70’s.  I have nicknamed him Sid!

Warkworth Castle, Northumberland

Here are a few shots of Warkworth Castle, a 12th century medieval ruin located on a hill above the river Coquet in Northumberland.  Once home to the powerful Percy family, who now reside not too far away in Alnwick Castle, Warkworth is one of the largest and most impressive fortresses in North East England.   It was once home to ‘Harry Hotspur’, a valiant and significant knight of the Anglo-Scottish wars of the day.  Unfortunately the castle was not open during our visit so an amble around the exterior was the best we could do.
