Hi you guys doing a wonderful job, filming the St Aidens nature reserve. I was born & bred in Swillington and back in the 50s and 60s, it used to be Astley Lane, right down past the riding stables, to a bad lefthand bend with the only house on that part of the road... Across the fields we could walk down And go to the local pit opencast quarry, where we used to go swimming & BBQs, yeah memories, wonderful, keep the wild life videos coming, great job, 👍👍👍👍👍
