Shelter

One of the last hills on the trail, the wall hadn't been built on the crest of the hill but on the lower of two parallel cliffs. We sheltered between the upper cliff and the wall to get out of the wind for our lunch stop, with the boulders as furniture. Sitting there, we were also listening to a cuckoo from that tree you can see further along the wall. It was still singing as we passed the tree and we could see right into the crown of the tree from up on the trail, so I stopped, listened and looked very carefully ... but could not find it |:(| Closest I got to capturing a bird that day.

Another great scene. I think birds are like ventriloquists... they can "throw their voice"... it was probably in another tree ;)
 
Nice shot. I have been on holiday, so I take it you are following Hadrian's wall? Sorry if I'm wrong but I really fancy doing that myself one day tfs

LOL They can sometimes really hide themselves, can't they.

Another lovely picture you've got here Ann - my sort of lunch spot that.
 
I know well this part of Britain. Another beautifully captured scenery, Ann.

Awesome Doc! I can only imagine this history this wall has seen! Some birds just have a knack for not being seen (lol). Three excellent posts today!!!!
