Spring Sunshine in the Shropshire Hills. Gold Finches, Bluebells and a soaring Red Kite.

The South Shropshire Hills are another of my favourite places, wonderful walking in beautiful, unspoiled countryside. After such a long spell of rainy weather a couple of days of sunshine was a real treat so I made the most of it and went up onto the Long Mynd for a walk. The rolling hills and deep cut valleys are a haven for wildlife and the air was filled with birdsong as I made my way along one of the streams and then up onto the hills.

Oh wow!👌
No idea what the two birds are at the start, so beautiful. I would have thought they are not in the UK.
The trees at the beginning make a cool bridge. Nice arch.
I love seeing old English houses like that.
Mountains look amazing there. Never been, but to get there and hike.
The flowers, butterflies, waterfall are all beautiful.
I'm 45 now, still youngish 😂
Every year I see more outside.
So many miss it, with eyes shut.
Your music fits so well with nature around you.
Thank you for this video.
I'm down with man flu😁
That's a killer, you picked me up.👍 Enjoyed it with a nice cuppa.
Thank you.👋

The birds are Goldfinches delightful and exotic looking birds (for the UK) that have had a bit of a resurgence in recent years.

Great video today. Really enjoyed it.
In a few months I hope to get to Shropshire Hills. Never been and they look great.
I'm guessing there’s a few fairly high ones.
I will look it up after I go to Lake District next month.
I'm doing 3 nights there, starting with Scafell Pike, I'll do a mountain and waterfall or 2 mountains a day.
Cover a lot of ground because it's a 5 hour drive for me.
Great job on your video.👍

Thanks, didn’t reply to your previous comments so thanks for them and as someone else pointed out they are goldfinches at the beginning, you’re right they do look too exotic to be UK birds.
Shropshire hills are only hills and cover a fairly small area. Nothing very high but really lovely area for more gentle walking. Also a bit closer to you than the lakes I guess. Well worth a look.
Thanks again for the comments and support! 🙏🙏😀

That’s good to know.
I want explore England more this year.
Wales is crazy hilly and mountains, up and down. I love that, but I get lazy and stick to the same areas.
I'll look up your area on alltrails, be a few good hills and a waterfall near I'm sure. That do me.
Thanks.👍
