It does seem strange coming back here after all this time. I see my last post was Birding Belfast and Beyond and I'm very pleased to say I really am beyond Belfast now..
I didn't take to Belfast at all, it's not my cup of tea and was just a stepping stone to somewhere else. To tell the truth I'm not a lover of large towns or cities, I had all that back in England and I wanted something different. It's birds, wild flowers and being close to water, they are the kinds of things I prefer.
Not that it was all bad there. The people are nice and friendly, there are lots of lovely parks to walk in and it's easy to get to other places. There were lots of day trips here and there including a trip to Rathlin Island which I will never forget.
So where am I now?? Well, I'm in County Down and there are lots of birds in my garden, cows in the field next door and Strangford Lough is only a five minute walk from the house........
