Cold, grey and curlews...


Boy it was cold on Lindisfarne this morning. Worse than this it was dull and grey. Then only real highlight was capturing a Curlew going about its business. One of the things about cars is that most animals don't see them as a threat so they can be a really useful hide - certainly more comfortable.

The rest of the morning on the Holy Island was dull. However I will work on the images over the coming weeks and lets hope something might come out of it.



After lunch we indulged my other passion - Anglo Saxon history. We went to Yeaving, the site of one of the most impressive Northumbrian palaces. This was the site that Paulianious introduced Roman Christianity to the pagan anglians. He is supposed to have baptised them in the near by River Glen, well if it was a day like today then he wouldn't have been that successful!
