I said a few days ago( late one night after too many glasses of wine:)) that I would put together photos from my year walking along the Liffey at Lucan Demesne.

I thought the easiest way to do it was by way of youtube?
I'm not sure if this is the right thread for a youtube so mods feel free to move it to the video section if that is more appropriate.

The photos are in date order so hopefully you can see the passing of the seasons.
Sorry to those of you who don't like Damien Rice- it was the only song I could find of the right length.

Still catching up on our 'Nature Pictures of the Month'thread - congratulations to Bernard0368 for having the pick of those taken in November - a wonderful autumnal shot of a species we don't get to see too often:

Lovely shots of the crossbills. One of my favourite species and a bird I don't see too often. They are really very localised
