At 10:30 pm the other night I got a photo of two foxes on the pavement outside my house. I'd say they were the same age and stature as yours Lisa. Sad to say I can't remember the last time I saw a sparrow, mistle thrush or song thrush. When I was young they were a common sight. I had visions of the guy doing the paragliding flying through someone's open bedroom window. 😂
@@Richard-og7mv paragliding, that’s it 👏🏻👏🏻 I just couldn’t think what it was called and knew someone would tell me. Thank you Richard. I loved the fox 🦊, only the 4th one I’ve ever seen. I wonder what he found to eat? All the sparrows are in my front garden daily. Don’t worry they are fed well . I have filmed both a Mistle thrush and a song thrush. Both very rare now for me to find. Will you put food out for the foxes? I’m daft and feed everything. It does bring different wildlife to you though. Have a great Bank Holiday weekend. Hope you enjoyed the day trip.
Only seen four foxes eh, I find that a bit surprising Lisa. You're a lot more countryfied where you live. It's quite a common sight in Nottingham, even close to the city centre where I used to live. I know of someone who has fed them by hand. When I was about 15 a fully grown male fox, complete with a cub in tow, burst through the hedge in front of me and my friend. It was as close to us as I was to you at Ludham bridge. A wonderful sight. Hope you have a nice holiday weekend too lisa.@@Newnamesameme2

Seeing the wide cattle grid reminded me of when I was a child and I was crossing something similar but it was made of wood. I recall I was with my dad and his friend who had been fishing. Needless to say my leg slipped between the rails! We shall never know what the SW on the sign is for 😂😂😂. Felbrigg hall is a beautiful house. The combined colours of the Butterfly against the flowers was just so beautiful.I always think some of the images you capture deserve to be made into cards.
Aww thank you SW. Cards would be nice but I just don’t have the time. I bet it was painful when you foot slipped on the grid. Was that to keep the deer in ?
@@Newnamesameme2 No, it was actually a raised wooden footpath a bit like a boardwalk. I think it was over water. Years ago there would have been no 'elf and safety! Maybe 60 years ago....
Thank you Bob. One week on and he’s doing really well. Fracture clinic Monday. He also has a sore wrist which wasn’t xrayed 🤦🏻♀️. It’s not swollen but he will mention it on Monday. Have a lovely weekend, hope everyone is ok and of course 🐶🐶
Thank you for a video of a beautiful walk. I was born in Hemsby and lived there until 1958. The area is strange to me now, everything having changed, and I could hardly recognise any of it on Google Street View, but it is clearly still a gorgeous place. Good luck, and a swift recovery for your son.
I’m pleased you enjoyed the walk, thank you. Which area of Hemsby do you remember? I’ll film it for you. I do already have other Hemsby videos. The Marrams eg. Before the road and homes were taken by the sea. Beach Road also. Thank you for watching.
@@Newnamesameme2 Well, I was born in Hill House, on King's Loke - it had been the family home when my father was a boy - and at the time we lived with my great-grandmother, grandmother and great-aunt across the road, and set back from it, at 'Westfield'. A few years ago I looked on Google Maps and there was a huge pile of rubble where Hill House had been. When I was four or five we moved to Yarmouth Road. I remember learning to ride a bicycle on Hall Road, and there was a pond beside that road where we would catch sticklebacks etc in jam jars. One particularly fond memory though, is of the train ride to Yarmouth which near the Yarmouth end trundled through the sand dunes. Beyond Hall Road, on Waters Lane, there used to be tree stumps where we would see common lizards basking. Again, I wish your son a good recovery and to you, good health and pleasant walks.
No need for apologies Lisa we understand. Wishing your son a speedy recovery. Yes I've often wondered about isolated walls and fences myself. Perhaps they were used to control livestock or mark land boundaries. Richard Notts
Thank you Richard, one week on and he’s doing so well. Fracture clinic Monday. I’ve since learnt that the brick wall was once part of a pumping station. I think once the cows go , I’ll return and have a good look around.
About 30 years ago a cow charged me. I was in a field next to the river Trent. I ended up partly in the river behind a bush. I must have been 70 or 80 yards away when the cow decided it didn't like me. That cow will be long gone but I've never returned to that field. Descendents of the cow might recognise me 😂
I would assume this is the dog walk you have previously mentioned and also the field with the cows in? Great idea taking others with you. The pink water lilies look so pretty. So sorry to hear Edward has broken his elbow. He would have possibly fainted due to the terrible pain he was in. I hope he feels a little more comfortable now. Sending big hugs to all.
Yes that’s the one. It’s far nicer in person than my video shows. Ed is doing really well thank you SW. it’s a week since he did it. So much easier for him. I filmed at Felbrigg a couple of days ago. There’s a sign there just for you . It says SW I took a photo. 😀
Some time ago now I remember saying to you that, in my opinion, you missed your vocation. You ought to have been a natural history photographer. You have a natural ability which I can only envy. In the nicest possible way of course. As a matter of interest what was your weapon of choice for filming, your phone or your box brownie? 😂 I think I'll leave it at that. Richard Notts
Box Brownie but it was a very hot sunny day so I had to keep changing my settings. Automatic isn’t always the best option. 🤦🏻♀️ ☀️ I’d love to have been a professional photographer for insects in macro, or flowers or Wildlife. ……. Or as everyone usually says …… do voiceovers 🤣 More birds next week, as I tagged on to a birding group…. They were proper birders unlike me. I can’t distinguish between summer, breeding and winter plumages 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I sat next to them and still I couldn’t find the birds 😂😂😂 hopeless !! Bring your camera next time 📸
Yes and there are different varieties of flamingos 🦩 too. The Cyprus ones I’m familiar with are a different type to the ones at Pensthorpe . Just as there are different deer. The young grey ones are extremely fluffy. Thank you for watching.
Thank you Gordon and thank you for joining the Live. As I always say, I have the best subscribers, who always support me, no matter what I do . By the way, I managed to get down Ferry Lane. Of course it’s still flooded but nothing like it has been previously. 11 months since I was last able to drive down to the car park. I’ve had to walk instead. Poor cyclists kept turning up for the ferry .
The "rock louse" is a crustacean called a sea slater. They are closely related to the woodlouse, which evolved millions of years ago during the Cretacious period to become land dwellers.
It seems he might be a Rock Louse. 🤷🏻♀️ The eel put up a good fight. I loved it when he curled himself around the cormorants beak. Hoping to keep it closed and not be eaten. More from Breydon in tomorrow’s video and you won’t believe who I had the pleasure of meeting this week, along with her husband too. All is revealed tomorrow 😉 Other lovely subscribers too but you know this person. 🤐😂
Aww Gordon thank you. It isn’t easy sometimes. Tomorrow’s video is boats going fast across Breydon and looking fabulous. That one is hopefully better than this lol.
Thank you SW. it’s the camera, not me 😂 I just walk slowly and look at every plant for insects. It’s a great hobby. By the way , I’ve a new walk to explore …… just the slight problem of grazing cows at the minute though 🤦🏻♀️
Lovely. Thanks. Yes, pretty sure that was a Linnet. Red Legged Partridges are such wonderful colours. Lived in Suffolk, near Minsmere but North Norfolk is special. 👍
Yes, I heard the deer! How could I not recognise it? I think I would have tried to push the gate rather than pull it. At least on the way back, you would have got it right.😂😂😂 I shall have to revisit here again as I had intended to go last winter but with all that rain we had decided not to. I do tend to wear trousers when going through grassy areas just in case of ticks dangling there ready to jump.
What a beautiful evening stroll you and Mr L had. Sunshine, birds, views and mozzies 😂😂😂! He is a lucky man that you took him with you as you usually film on your own. The remainder of this week and next week is looking really good weather wise so we should all enjoy it to the fullest. We just got back Church/Waterworks route and it was lovely apart from the mozzies buzzing around. I have no idea what the sound you heard was. Yesterday there were load of noisy Crows/Rooks flying overhead circling and I thought it was a remake of Hitchcock's The Birds!
SW I used to always ask him if he wanted to go too but it was always “no thank you”. This time he actually said yes . Long may the sunshine continue SW . There is lots happening on the River in the sunshine , as you will see in Friday’s video. It’s very busy .
Just a few more weeks and I'll be back on the Broads. Sorry Lisa but I'll be making you redundant that week. I'll reinstate the following week, honestly lol. 😂
You are very lucky. I’ve been visiting there for several years now. I love all the boats . Mind you it was the first time I actually found the boat wrecks in Pin Mill. A great cafe at Levington Marina. I’ll be back one day 😀⛵️⛴️🛥️🛳️🚢
Excellent Leasa. Overseas travel! 😄 I kept a boat at Levington Marina years ago...... The Butt & Oyster was a regular high-tide visit. Pretty area, would recommend a trip to Waldringfield on the river Deben The Maybush Inn in the future too. Lots going on there whilst enjoying lunch Leasa. Famously it is where the cartoonist - Giles, kept his yacht back in the day. An original full size cartoon of the chaos on the river outside the Maybush resides in the pub!
Feels like overseas travel Gordon as I don’t like driving in places I don’t know. On my brief Woodbridge visit, I discovered the Maybush Inn and planned to go there on this holiday but the driving again prevented me. I never knew Giles was connected to there though. Thank you, now I do need to go again 😂📸
I am so happy you had such a lovely holiday away from the demands of everyday life. You certainly could not have picked a better week weather wise. So much to see happening on the River Orwell with the most amazing sunsets. I would say the Shipwreck Loft was built with you in mind. So much to see. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Oh SW it was incredible. Definitely built for me. I’m not sure I could ever find somewhere else better than those 2 places I chose to stay. Sunset was the highlight of each day. I never saw sunrise 😂 Thank you for joining in the Live and making it very funny. What a fantastic group of subscribers I have . Sour Gravy was brilliant looking everything up, it was wonderful all being together again.
