    I love watching kites, falcons, hawks flying, they have such poise. The factory must be producing by products which the birds feed on otherwise surely they wouldn't stay around. Thanks for the awesome trip, so peaceful. Take care =-) Post script as I comment through your journey and not wait until end. I'm following the progress of 2 peregrine falcon chicks who are approximately 3 weeks old and live in a water tower nest box in Orange, NSW Australia, it's fascinating watching the parent birds caring for the chicks. Totally time consuming ..... =-)

I live in Seattle, WA, USA where Redwing blackbirds, Cedar Waxwings, Pin-tail ducks, Kestrels, hawks, Bald Eagles, pelicans, Mergansers, etc. abound. Seattle is surrounded by Puget Sound and Lake Washington plus the Pacific Ocean off the Olympic Peninsula is a great place to bird watch as well as enjoy whales, sea otters, etc. I'd love to live aboard a narrow boat and cruise the canals of Great Britain.

I have kept a nature journal ever since moving on my boat, four years ago. Every week, there is a sketch, some observations and a poem which tries to capture the week's events. The art is a work in progress, but I absolutely love doing it. Have a wonderful week, take care🦋🌻

    I'm really enjoying binge watching your videos! You dobsuch a great job narrating and your artwork and poetry is so beautiful! 🥰... I think I would like to spend 3 or 4 years doing what you are doing...I had, briefly...contemplated a permanent move to England, but as I began to reflect on how diverse the U.S. is and the vastness of our landscapes, mountains, deserts, prairies, and farmlands, deltas, seashores, swamps...and our wildlife! From bears to sea lions, cougar to racoon, fox, badger, marmot, bald eagles, and Elk, deer...I realized just how LUCKY we are to have all this!! I've been fishing and seen herds of elk walk out of the woods, and cross 100 feet from me, almost hit a moose last year on my way home from work, I saw 2 bear in my neighbors yard...I ALWAYS have bear in my yard- 6,8 times a year...lol. I sit outside and listen to wolves howl...
    You have a vast amount of swan, and wildfowl there...But honestly? I know I'd miss the U.S. and have to return...I don't think I'd be truly happy living there permanently...You really need to visit Yellowstone!!!

    • @themindfulnarrowboat
      @themindfulnarrowboat  Před rokem +2

      I think the wildlife that you have where you are is incredible and I don't blame you for not wanting to leave. Yellowstone is on my bucket list, although I promised myself six years ago that I would never fly in a plane again, so I'll have to think about the best way to get to Yellowstone...by my narrowboat!🤭 Thank you for watching, take care🦋🌻
