The birds on the video with the music I picked to go with it was deliberate as indeed this is exactly how it felt. The Hitchcock film, 'Birds' was the only film I was really scared in however I was not scared on Copeland even though the Terns did want to attack us. Many thanks for your comment.Margaret Birding For Pleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400663056547331997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-36528537995698580822014-07-22T16:23:08.408+10:002014-07-22T16:23:08.408+10:00A beautiful place - so many different sea birds an...A beautiful place - so many different sea birds and animals! I do love the terns with their black skull caps and bright coral beaks and feet! How interesting about the rabbit holes, too. I enjoyed the video, but it did sort of remind me of Hitchcock's, 'The Birds' with the dramatic music! Wonderful post.
