Potteric Car Nature Reserve

This Crow was having a great time throwing leaves up into the air, presumably hunting food among the leaves, and watched by a Robin. Great to see Roe Deer close as most birds/animals were at a distance. Other cameos to give the feel of the area.

Birds from Hull and Hornsea

Although not a birdwatching trip, we did see a lot of birds during our visit to Hull area. The Hull and Humber banks had large numbers of waders and gulls at low tide and these cute Sanderling along with dozens of Turnstone were everywhere at Bridlington and Hornsea and were comparatively tame.

Modern Architecture in Hull 2

A second set of architectural studies, this time taken on our last day in Hull with very poor light featuring Hull College, the History Centre, which is part of the University and various other buildings. Unfortunately, we didn't get time to visit the University - another visit to Hull needed for that.

Modern Architecture in Hull 1

Christmas Walk at Bridlington

We decided to drive to Bridlington on Christmas Morning and enjoyed a walk in sunshine along the beach and around the harbour. Since I last visited quite a few years ago, they have built a very impressive Leisure Centre - a good addition to my collection of architectural studies of concrete buildings!
