Yesterday I showed you the Part 1 of the video I took
when I walked round Mount Stewart Lake, near Newtownards in May. Today we commence part 2 as we ascend the
steps up to the Tír na nÓg. This name means "Land of the Young" in
Irish mythology and folklore. Once again, get a cuppa coffee, sit back,
relax and enjoy. If you missed the first part yesterday, CLICK HERE.
There are birds on the lake. If the video does not appear below, CLICK HERE.
There was a blue flowered plant in the video that I had forgotten the name of when I was recording and I can now tell you, it is Echium candicans.
I am linking this post with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.
I hope you enjoyed seeing this video with the Mute Swans, Moorhen and Mallards on the lake and thank you for your visit.
Many thanks for all the comments you leave on this post. I hope you will join me for part 3 of a shorter video as I finish our lake walk.
The echium is a glorious colour.
ReplyDeleteThey are tall, regal plants that, to me look like 'Soldiers standing tall with blue busby's on'
DeleteAnother great video. Love your flower shots.
